AWS To Be Adopted Across The Americas

posted Dec 14, 2007, 5:24 PM by Eric Lin

Thanks to a large number of handsets and base stations designed for use in the American AWS (1700 MHz) band, the frequency will be adopted beyond US borders. 3G Americas, which represents GSM in North and South America, has expressed confidence in the band and points out that a number of countries will auction off spectrum in the same band as early as next year. This announcement follows the ITU's recent adoption of the 700 MHz band for wireless broadband use across the Americas as well as Asia.
