T-Mobile CTO: 1755-1780 MHz is prime spectrum for LTE
BARCELONA, Spain--Freeing up the 1755-1780 MHz block through spectrum sharing will not only aid U.S. mobile operators that desperately need additional frequencies for mobile broadband but it will also aid spectrum harmonization efforts across the Americas, said Neville Ray, T-Mobile USA CTO.
AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile forge pact to explore spectrum sharing with government
AT&T Mobility, Verizon Wireless and T-Mobile USA inked an agreement with the Department of Defense to explore the possibility of sharing 95 MHz of spectrum that is currently used by the Pentagon and other federal agencies located in the 1755 - 1850 MHz band.
Apple, Ericsson, RIM and other tech firms lobby Congress for more spectrum
Apple, Ericsson, Research In Motion and other technology companies sent a letter to Congress urging lawmakers to open up more spectrum for mobile broadband. The group, called the High Tech Spectrum Coalition, wants Congress to push for a successful incentive auction of broadcast TV spectrum and also get federal agencies to share or give up their spectrum.
WISPA pushes testing to validate 4.9 GHz spectrum sharing
The Wireless Internet Service Providers Association is advocating cooperative testing of a geolocation database and network equipment to prove that commercial users could easily share the 4.9 GHz band with public-safety users on a secondary basis.
Rysavy: Spectrum sharing with LTE is conceivable but not trivial
It sounds so appealing. You have a valuable resource but you don't need it all the time. Why not let somebody else use it when you're not using it? The resource in this case is spectrum, and the primary user for the bands under consideration is the government.
