What is difference between 900mhz and 1800mhz?
Spectrum at 1800 MHz is used to provide additional capacity for the GSM900 based network while 900 MHz frequencies allow the GSM1800 based operator to provide more cost-effective coverage when rolling out beyond the 98% coverage point.
What band is 900mhz?
The 900 MHz band is considered low-band spectrum, which is generally well suited for covering large areas, but does not support the highest wireless speeds. The band is comprised of 5 MHz of spectrum between 896-901 MHz and another 5 MHz of spectrum between 935-940 MHz.
What DCS 1800?
DCS-1800 — also known as PCN or GSM-1800 — is a digital cellular communication system. Handsets (mobile stations) roaming throughout a blanket of cells constantly keep in radio contact with the base station in the nucleus of the current cell.
What’s the best LTE band?
Band 3
Band 3 (1800 MHz): The most popular global band for LTE Far more LTE networks have been deployed at 1800 MHz (band 3) than in any other frequency band. Band 3 is now widely used throughout Europe, APAC, MEA and is also deployed in selected countries in South America. It has become a core band for LTE deployments.
What is the main difference between GSM 900 and GSM 1800?
It has been proven that 900 Mhz band has 30-40 per cent better coverage than 1800 Mhz band. To make up for this, mobile companies on 1800 Mhz have to invest more in setting up larger number of base stations to achieve the same coverage as in the 900 Mhz band.
Why is 700 MHz better?
The 700MHz has gained massive acceptance among the telcos owing to its many inherent advantages like wide coverage, low frequency and a good in building penetration. It is five times more efficient when compared to 1800 MHz for the rural area coverage and twice as efficient as the 900 MHz.
Who uses 900MHz?
Currently, the entire 900 MHz band is designated for narrowband private land mobile radio communications and it has been primarily used for two-way dispatch radio communications by land transportation, utility, manufacturing, and petrochemical companies.
