NEW YORK, Sept. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:

The availability of spectrum for LTE

http://www.reportlinker.com/p0289394/The-availability-of-spectrum-for-LTE.html

Around the world, Long-Term Evolution (LTE) – a standard for mobile broadband – is now a reality, having been commercially deployed in at least two countries (Sweden and Hong Kong). Although some substantial WiMAX deployments are already taking place globally, most existing mobile operators are in the planning stage of LTE deployment. There is now a widely-held view that multi-frequency LTE networks will be the norm, and that operators will use lower frequencies (such as 700/800MHz) to provide blanket coverage in rural areas and deep within buildings, and higher frequencies (such as 2.6GHz) for extra capacity in hot spots. Using Ovum's recently developed database of spectrum awards, we identify where regulators are taking steps to make these bands available for new uses, and compare the success of the auctions where these bands have already been awarded.
