Slide 7: MHz Re-mining Challenges and Opportunities
3 900 MHz Re-mining Challenges and Opportunities “The main challenge in deploying UMTS in band VII (UMTS900) is the interference with GSM900 due to co-existence in the same band. Interference can be overcome by allowing sufficient guard band between carriers, optimizing frequency planning and deploy
