LTE1800: A Versatile Platform for Connected Devices and Applications
9th January 2012

LTE is quickly becoming the de facto standard for the next generation of mobile data services. With fast data rates, low latency, and good coverage, LTE can deliver an excellent experience for users, and a range of business and technology benefi ts for network operators, device manufacturers and other stakeholders.
One
of the most significant trends now unfolding in the
wireless industry is the growth in LTE services using the 1800 MHz frequency band, or Band 3. Well positioned between low-bandwidth and high-bandwidth parts of the spectrum, Band 3 provides an attractive combination of capacity and coverage (Figure 1). And, since 1800 MHz is already widely used by operators for 2G GSM services, it also provides a cost-effective solution for boosting mobile broadband capacity—allowing operators to re-farm spectrum they already own for LTE, instead of (or in addition to) licensing new spectrum.
