800 MHz Frequencies for Transition from Analog to Digital TV

Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN) to create next generation technology for LTE equipment by using the 800 MHz spectrum to anticipate the transition from analog to digital TV. The next-generation technology that is the right solution to meet the frequency requirement for LTE services are facing scarcity of available frequency slots in various countries. "While many countries switch from analog to digital TV, they can free up spectrum used for mobile networks," said Thorsten Robrecht, head of LTE product management, Nokia Siemens Networks.

Radio frequency module Multiradio Flexi Base Station for the next-generation technologies that use 800 MHz frequencies have been ready for LTE. 800 MHz bandwidth of the next generation technology is also very attractive for the deployment of LTE services in rural areas because of the wider scope, so that operators can meet the target of their mobile broadband access with efficient cost.

800 MHz bandwidth for next-generation technology that has a range of further and enables operators to cover one particular area with fewer tower sites compared with frequencies higher. The operators which showcases LTE on 800 MHz frequencies can easily achieve the same coverage with a GSM network (900 MHz) using an existing base stations, so they can take a big step towards the vision of providing universal broadband for the future.
