PSI2: The Impact of Spectrum Options on Device Availability
Thursday, 21 November 2013, 14:15 - 15:45, Jupiter 9
Finding spectrum to satisfy the growing demand for mobile data is getting ever more difficult. Timely release of spectrum in the right combination of low and high frequency bands is required to achieve national coverage of both dense urban and rural areas. Policy makers in many countries are adopting a technology neutral policy to free up spectrum such as the 900 MHz and 1800 MHz bands for LTE deployments, and many regulators are also looking at allocating Digital Dividend spectrum for mobile broadband.
Although a wide variety of spectrum bands has been approved for LTE the availability of commercially viable devices depends on the choice of primary bands in different regions of the world. Which are the key LTE bands for Asia and what is the likely availability of spectrum in the region?
Adoption of the APT700 MHz band plan represents a major new opportunity for regional and global spectrum harmonization that could deliver the benefits of economies of scale for end-user devices. How does spectrum fragmentation affect device design, availability and the prospects for international roaming? What is the likely timescale for 700 MHz to be brought widely into use for LTE mobile broadband services?
