LTE 2013 Malaysia discussion v1 (true 4G)


LTE Frequency band:
================
For Malaysia, LTE band will be running at 2600MHz (main band) + 1800MHz (supplemantary band? to be confirmed later time)

note:
* Unlike 3G, LTE frequency band adoption is quite diversed by different country/region in the world.
There are 2600MHz, 2300MHz, 2100MHz, 1800MHz, 1700/2100MHz, 1700MHz, 1500MHz, 900MHz, 800MHz, 700MHz.

From Yahoo: Singapore Singtel & M1 also confirmed using 2600MHz + 1800MHz for their LTE (neighborhood countries mah, and telco here got partnership/share holding at there, so must be compatible)

Malaysia LTE telco provider:
====================
MCMC already assigned spectrum of 2600MHz to 9 local telcos, ie next year there should be having 9 telco offering LTE plan (if no delayed like the wimax scenario)!

LTE is sth not 'universal' like 3G

the frequency band adopted by each country/region is different.

for asia, the japan one should be one with very unique band (i forgot their band)

LTE device made for US is not applicable to here bcoz we are not same LTE band.

and it is hardware matter, not firmware solution.
