Low frequency Known Better for 4G LTE

The Indonesian government is preparing to draw up regulations on the administration of 4G Long Term Evolution networks ( LTE ) . The Government also considered the allocation of the frequency spectrum is best to hold the fourth -generation wireless networks .

According to research conducted by the Global mobile Suppliers Association in November 2012 , the most widely LTE network running at 1.800MHz frequency . Second and third most widely used for LTE is 2.600MHz frequency and 700MHz .

Head of Mobile Broadband Solutions for Asia Pacific , Nokia Solutions and Network ( NSN ) , Nils Kleemann said low frequency is more efficient to conduct LTE . " Low frequency beneficial in terms of reach , because the broader scope , " Nils said in a press conference in Jakarta , Tuesday ( 10/12/2013 ) .

Implementation of LTE in the low frequencies can reduce infrastructure spending for mobile operators . In terms of capacity is also good , because it can penetrate walls and basement of the building .

While the high frequency has a narrow range of properties .

Low frequencies such as 700 MHz , 850 MHz , and 900 MHz , has also been supported by many mobile phones and tablet devices in the market . According to NSN the data , there are now 250 device works at a frequency of 700 MHz , 189 devices at 850 MHz , and 174 devices at 900 MHz .

Head of Information and Public Relations of the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology , Gatot S. Dewa Broto said that until now the government has not made ​​a rule implementation of 4G LTE , including the allocation of frequencies to be set digunaan .

" Currently we are still focused on the acquisition of XL and Axis . Afterwards we will also hold auctions at 2.100MHz 10MHz wide frequency ( 3G ) that are returned by XL and Axis , " said Billy when contacted KompasTekno . After it was all finished , the government is expected to start making rules 4G LTE .

The existence of a good telecommunications infrastructure and the Internet are fast to support all areas of the industry . World Bank data record , any increase in broadband penetration of 10 percent would increase economic growth by 1.38 percent .

In Indonesia , Internux telecom operators have launched mobile Wi-Fi device named Bolt who provide internet service 4G LTE . Unfortunately , the product is still difficult to obtain in the market .

Internux 4G LTE network running at 2,300 MHz frequency spectrum by applying time division duplex long term evolution ( LTE TDD ) which only provide data services ( internet ) . It can not be used for telephone and SMS services .
