No comments
The European Commission has approved use of mobile WiMAX (802.16e-2005) in the 3.4-3.8 GHz radio spectrum in Europe.
By january 2012, state members will have to open up their spectrum for fixed, nomadic and mobile usage in these frequencies.
Most european countries limited usage to only fixed and nomadic services. Nevertheless, a few were already opening up to mobility.
Last year, the World Radio Conference (WRC) integrated the 3.4-3.6 GHz band into IMT’s definition of “4G”.
