With several operators deploying LTE over 700 MHz, a good portion of the country’s 700 MHz spectrum has now been designated for a single technology. During this session you will learn about: the possible options for 700 MHz license owners; if LTE is now the default technology of the band and if so, how quickly and easily can operators tap into LTE economies of scale; whether all operators are required to be on the same timetable when launching networks on the spectrum; and if alternative bands besides the 700 MHz spectrum are being used to deploy LTE.
