Represent interests of the 450 MHz band stakeholders
We are not new
The 450 MHz Alliance was recently founded as an independent organization de
facto replacing the former and successful 450MHz Special Interest Group (450
SIG) at CDG (CDMA Development Group)

We believe that by being independent we can provide service that is

more dedicated to the 450 MHz community, embrace all
technologies available for the 450 band and make better use of
member strength
Strong believing in 450 MHz band potential
