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 Arne

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.

[osmocom-event-orga] BnetzA regional and local networks
Hi, the BnetzA just published the scale of charges for local networks operation in 3.7 to 3.8 GHz [1]. While not immediately interesting for us, this could be a cheap enough method to have our own LTE frequencies (bands 42 and 43 if I'm not missing something). The formula for Leipzig Messe (800 by 500 meters) would look like this (for a 10 Year lease of 20 MHz): Pay = 1000 + 20 * 10 * 5 (6 * (800 * 500)/1000^2) Pay = 3400 (totally possibile I did an oopsie here) Maybe this can spark a discussion and a more solid plan to roll out LTE in the future. bye Arne [1] https://www.bundesnetzagentur.de/DE/Sachgebiete/Telekommunikation/Unternehmen_Institutionen/Frequenzen/OeffentlicheNetze/LokaleNetze/lokalenetze-node.html
