The Belgian government is the trajectory starts to the most attractive frequencies for 4g technology lte auction. Belgian providers, this year has already started with the provision of 4g services, but which operate at a higher frequency. The government wants strict demands.
The higher frequency of the current lte networks is that the signal is less good in permeates buildings and in far less carries. The auction the frequencies are in the 800MHz band previously used for analogue television. There is now a Royal Decree to the frequency band to use for mobile internet, reports Datanews.
The new frequency requires that providers are less masts have to use a cover to deliver in the same area. That makes the band suitable for both rural areas as the busiest spots in the cities.
In the Royal Decree are some requirements for the winners of the auction. So, after six years, 98 percent of Belgians are able to make use of mobile internet via the frequency and the speed of at least 3Mbps amounts. That is low: the lte-variant of ‘lte advanced’ offers speeds of up to 1Gbps.
The Belgian government will have to begin with the journey: the European Union requires that member states do so at the beginning of 2013. In the Netherlands, frequencies in the 800MHz band currently being auctioned. The results of the Dutch auction may at any time be made known: he began at the end of October and would be up to a few weeks.
