Re: [osmocom-event-orga] BnetzA regional and local networks

Hi Harald,

off, you are right. There is not a single device with support for band 
43. And while at least iPhones support band 42, I did miss something, 
because that is 3400 - 3600 MHz and thus not included in the newly 
available spectrum.


Maybe in a few years there are enough devices available if companies 
actually start using these frequencies.


Whelp, too bad

One of the "problems" with this is that it's TDD-LTE in - for now - rather 
obscure
bands.  The number of devices supporting TDD in B42/43 is relatively limited,
as far as I can tell.
