Next Generation Broadband Forum program http://www.communicasia.com/NGBF_forum.htm#day2

Synopsis:

Although most mobile broadband networks operate at frequencies around 2100 MHz, the use of lower frequencies such as 900 MHz or 850 MHz would provide larger coverage in rural areas and improved indoor penetration in urban areas. The availability of “digital dividend” spectrum in the 470–862 MHz bands resulting from the migration from analogue to digital terrestrial TV will provide similar opportunities. What’s the status of commercial launches of mobile broadband at lower frequencies and how are regulatory regimes evolving to accommodate these options?

The first Evolved HSPA (HSPA+) systems are now entering commercial service, with the capability of supporting 21 Mbps peak on the downlink using 64QAM modulation. Peak downlink speeds this year are expected to reach 42 Mbps peak when 2x2 MIMO is added. An evolution of the uplink data speeds will also occur, from 2 Mbps and 5.8 Mbps which we have today with HSPA, to 11.5 Mbps (using 16QAM), and higher with MIMO. LTE is the next evolutionary step, continuing the GSM tradition of delivering even greater efficiencies, capacity, features and performance by evolution as the cornerstone for reducing delivery cost and total cost of ownership, continuing growth, investment, and commercial success.

The ITU World Radiocommunication Conference WRC-07 allocated the upper UHF sub-band of 790-862 MHz to Mobile Service for IMT services use on a Primary basis in Region 1, which includes Europe, Africa, Middle East, Russia, and CIS. These frequencies provide excellent coverage and performance characteristics for extending mobile broadband to rural and semi-urban areas, and also for improving in-building coverage, as proven by several commercial HSPA deployments around the world in the 850 MHz and 900 MHz bands.

The success of mobile broadband and future demand expectations, combined with the existing strong political momentum e.g. in Europe, needs to convert into early decisions by regulators to allocate these frequencies for mobile broadband services. Finland, France, Sweden and Switzerland are the first countries to confirm that they will allocate 790–862 MHz for mobile broadband services. Harmonization of this band for mobile broadband services, and expediency, are key to ensuring lowest costs and fastest time to market.
