Excellent support for 850 MHz band and rapidly developing 900 MHz market (UMTS900)
Source: GSA HSPA Devices Survey (May 11, 2009) – Key Findings
www.gsacom.com
Mobile broadband frequency bands
WCDMA systems incl. HSPA are deployed in 850, 900, 1700, 1800, 1900, 2100 MHz
Most operate in IMT-2000 core band 1920-1980/2110–2170 MHz (referred to as 2100 MHz)
850, 900 MHz deliver coverage and cost efficiencies and are increasing in importance.
The eco-system in these bands is rapidly strengthening
700 MHz; 62 MHz of Digital Dividend spectrum auctioned in US; will be auctioned later in
other countries in the Americas
New UHF Digital Dividend spectrum is becoming available

 At the World Radio Conference in 2007 it was agreed to increase the allocation of
spectrum to the Mobile Service, arising from the UHF Digital Dividend:
Region 1 (Europe, Middle East and Africa) identified 790-862 MHz for mobile services
Region 2 (Americas) identified 698-806 MHz
Region 3 (Asia) come countries (e.g. China, India, Japan) identified 698-862 MHz while others
identified 790-862 MHz
About the 2.6 GHz band
The 2.50 - 2.69 GHz band is anticipated as the largest new spectrum resource for mobile
broadband services in the foreseeable future. It is identified by the ITU as the IMT extension
band and is needed due to traffic growth in 3G/HSPA networks
It is large enough to allow multiple operators to deploy technologies utilizing wide channels,
such as the 2 x 20 MHz channels for the highest data speeds of LTE
The CEPT band plan was included in CEPT Decision (05)05, agreed by consensus in 2005
by its 48 member countries. It includes a commitment to make the band available from 2008
depending on market demand. The plan comprises 2 x 70 MHz paired FDD spectrum
separated by 50 MHz of unpaired spectrum for FDD downlink or TDD
Sweden implemented the Decision and was the first country to auction 2.6 GHz spectrum in
accordance with the CEPT band plan. Norway, Hong Kong and Singapore have now
completed similar auctions
Forthcoming allocations likely in 2009/10 include Finland, Spain, UK, Germany, Austria,
Netherlands, and France
UMTS/WCDMA-HSPA below 1 GHz
900/850 MHz
Growing awareness and appreciation of benefits of deploying 3G/HSPA in 900 MHz band:
systems typically referred to as UMTS900 (or WCDMA-HSPA900)
UMTS900 gaining traction amongst operators and regulators across Europe, Asia, Oceania,
Middle East, Africa, Russia
UMTS900 eco-system is rapidly developing, including HSPA user devices
UMTS900 and UMTS2100 deployments are complementary
Similar benefits obtained with HSPA in 850 MHz band; commercial systems today in
Australia, New Zealand, and the Americas
UMTS900 = cost reduction in rural/suburban areas
GSA UMTS900 operator case study
Elisa, Finland
UMTS900 has an economic motivation –

it is a business decision
Increased coverage
Significant CAPEX, OPEX savings
Re-use existing sites
Faster rollout
Improved voice service UMTS900 Operator Case Study on Elisa
Improved in-building penetration www.gsacom.com/gsm_3g/info_papers.php4
UMTS900 = improved in-building coverage
Both building penetration loss (BPL) and indoor propagation characteristics determine the
quality of indoor coverage
900 MHz offers better absorption into the wall and hence lower BPL (longer wavelength)
2100 MHz offers more diffraction through windows and openings which improves the
penetration of signal into the building (shorter wavelength)
Qualcomm: UMTS900 Workshop, Africa Com 2008: www.gsacom.com

900 MHz benefits for HSPA/mobile broadband
UMTS900 = significant indoor coverage advantage in urban

At street level, up to 12 dB advantage was measured
900 MHz is a cost efficient solution to deploy Measured BPL and penetration advantage were 3 dB
PS services (e.g. HSPA) in rural/suburban and 5.5 dB respectively
environments adds up to total advantage of ~20 dB
Field measurements confirm expected coverage
High speed data services can be offered with improvement with UMTS900
significantly fewer Node B’s 9-12 dB in Rural
11-13 dB in Urban
Better propagation at 900 MHz results in more UMTS900 is the ideal solution to deploy broadband
efficient power utilization and larger cell range services in rural
Cell radius for HSDPA service improved by 70% compared
Cell range increase is significant to UMTS2100
Larger cell area decreases the number of cell handovers
and hence improves the HSDPA performance
UMTS900 commercialization
Standardization
completed by 3GPP in December 2005
Infrastructure and user devices

Infrastructure shipping from leading vendors; services commercially launched
UMTS900 devices availability rapidly improving: 130 devices announced by 23 suppliers
UMTS900 is becoming a standard feature in virtually every new 3G phone and data
modem destined for European and Asian markets
The 900/2100MHz combination for WCDMA-HSPA is expected to become much more
commonplace

UMTS900 regulatory aspects
- positive movement in Europe
Use of 900 MHz in Europe and beyond in some other countries is covered by the GSM Directive;
approval is therefore required to permit 3G/WCDMA-HSPA 900 deployment in the 900 MHz band
In 2007 the European Commission proposed to EU Council and Parliament to repeal the GSM
Directive, and drafted a Decision for more flexible approach which would permit use for 3G/UMTS in this
band. EU Council reacted positively, but Parliament was initially reluctant to repeal GSM Directive
Meanwhile several countries in Europe are pressing ahead by allowing UMTS900 deployments
UPDATE – Prepare for New Wave of UMTS900 Deployments as Brussels Gives the
Green Light, says GSA (www.gsacom.com/news/gsa_267.php4)
March 27, 2009: The decision by the European Parliament to accept the amendment of the GSM
Directive to allow UMTS (WCDMA-HSPA) technology to be deployed in the 900 MHz band is
welcomed by the Global mobile Suppliers Association (GSA). Political agreement on a first reading
agreement on the Amending GSM Directive was reached at the trialogue on 24 March 2009.
GSA said: “This groundbreaking spectrum agreement in Brussels enables more Europeans to benefit
from mobile broadband services. It is a clear signal to all regulators (NRAs) to prepare the path in their
respective markets for a new wave of HSPA deployments in the 900 MHz band.”
So now there is no reason for delay, and GSA expects more UMTS900 deployments as a result

Optus UMTS900 - Benefits
Key insights from Optus
Site optimization during re-farming gave customers a

kick up in performance for 2G service as well as access
to UMTS900
The extended reach of 900 MHz means we can deliver

better quality and wider coverage across sparsely
populated areas, as well as enhanced depth of coverage
UMTS900 has been critical in bringing up the depth of

coverage into people’s homes, so they get a similar
experience in both voice and data coverage, making it a
more economically feasible solution for expansion.
By having a technology that allows us to get into more

places at a lower cost, we can deliver more services. For
example, we can grow our small and medium business

Digital Dividend Spectrum
Digital Dividend spectrum is excellent for extending mobile

broadband to rural and semi-urban areas, and to improve in-building
performance in built up areas
Europe Digital TV transition timetable
Examples of the digital switchover timetable in Europe:
• Belgium (Flanders region), Finland, Germany, Luxembourg, the Netherlands,

Sweden, Switzerland: already switched over
• 2010: includes Austria, Denmark, Estonia, Malta, Slovenia, and Spain
• 2011 – 2012: includes Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Greece, France, Hungary,
Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, Latvia, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, the United Kingdom,
regions of Wallonia and Brussels (Belgium)
Europe:
790-862 MHz status
Finland, France, Germany, Sweden and Switzerland have confirmed they will allocate 790–862 MHz for
mobile broadband services. The UK government is proposing ring-fencing of some Digital Dividend spectrum
so that operators can push 3G beyond their license obligation of 80% population. In return, operators would
receive an indefinite extension to their 3G licences
In Germany, E-Plus and Ericsson are partnering with the local authorities in the state of Mecklenburg-
Vorpommern to use digital dividend frequencies to provide HSPA broadband services to communities without
broadband possibilities. The pilot uses channels in the 790-862 MHz band. Results will be used as input to
discussions about the future of the digital dividend. Vodafone Germany is engaged in a similar pilot from May
2009 in Bopfingen and Unterschneidheim. An auction of 790-862 MHz spectrum may be held in 2009
In Italy, Communications Undersecretary, Paolo Romani, announced that frequencies vacated during the
analogue switch off will be auctioned
Belgium is undertaking a consultation on the Digital Dividend
Czech Republic regulator CTU has undertaken a 2nd round of consultation on the 470-862 MHz band. A 3rd
round of consultation is likely in the Autumn
In Ireland, Comreg began a Digital Dividend review at its annual conference in October 2008
In Slovakia the regulator TU launched a public consultation calling for comments by April 3rd, 2009
In Spain, the Industry Ministry recently issued a press release indicating digital dividend spectrum would
likely be reserved for cellular use, especially for mobile Internet broadband, from January 2015
In Portugal, public consultations on the Digital Dividend closed on May 13, 2009
Serbia recently completed a consultation on the Digital Dividend
Conclusions
Mobile broadband services enabled by WCDMA-HSPA are a huge global success

Spectrum < 1 GHz is a key enabler for ubiquitous mobile broadband services delivery
Combination of “High” and “Low” frequencies may often be the optimum arrangement
Higher bands for the capacity layer
Lower bands for efficient geographic coverage in rural areas, and improved in-
building coverage in urban areas
Well established eco-systems exist for HSPA in the 850/900 MHz bands
Re-farming of 900 MHz is reality and gathering pace
10 UMTS900 HSPA network launches; 130 devices available in the market
Digital dividend spectrum provides an excellent opportunity to satisfy user needs and
national policy requirements
 HSPA and its evolution (HSPA+, LTE) are the most promising means of delivering
advanced, high speed interactive broadband services to the nationwide mass market
 Build on the momentum for mobile broadband
