EXECUTIVE SUMMARY INTRODUCTION GSM is a world-wide success- lack of lower bands hinders covering whole of the population Global UMTS/WCDMA deployment Extension of UMTS/IMT-2000 services coverage in large areas of low population density CEPT context EU context ITU context THE OPPORTUNITY FOR COST EFFICIENT COVERAGE THROUGH LARGER CELLS IN LOWER FREQUENCY BANDS The band 450-470 MHz The band 470-600 MHz The band 900 MHz DETAILED ANALYSIS OF THE BAND 470-600 MHz FOR THE PROVISIONING OF UMTS/IMT-2000 SERVICE COVERAGE IN LARGE AREAS OF LOW POPULATION DENSITY The comparison of the extension of UMTS/IMT-2000 service coverage at 470-600 MHz band compared to 900 MHz and 2 GHz bands in large areas of low population density Regional and country level information on the usage of the band 470-600 MHz Related issues on global spectrum harmonisation CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS REFERENCES
ANNEXES Calculations and simulations made in order to analyse the benefit of lower frequency bands for extension of UMTS/IMT-2000 service coverage Country level information on the usage of the band 470-600 MHz |
