In the wake of a U.S. government report that says its system may interfere with GPS and other services, Ligado Networks announced that it won’t launch its 5G network in the 1526-1536 MHz spectrum in certain areas of Virginia. According to published reports, Ligado planned to launch the network by Sept. 30.
