In short <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/eebroadband\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">EE<\/a>&#8217;s rivals are unhappy that the operator would be able to launch <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/4g\">4G<\/a> ahead of everybody else (one full year ahead).<\/p>\n<p>One possible solution being mooted would be for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/o2uk\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">O2<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/vodafoneuk\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Vodafone<\/a> to simply re-use their existing 2G\/<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/3g\">3G<\/a> based <strong>900MHz<\/strong> spectrum to launch a 4G service sooner rather than later. Both Europe and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ofcom\" target=\"_blank\">Ofcom<\/a> have, just as with the 1800MHz band before it, suggested that such a change would be fine. But could it actually work?<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #339966;\">Limited Spectrum<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>One of the reasons that EE has been able to launch 4G so soon and over 1800MHz is because it has <strong>plenty of spectrum to spare<\/strong> (2 x 30MHz for each of Orange UK and T-Mobile). This will be reduced from September 2013 when they&#8217;re <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2012\/08\/three-uk-to-buy-4g-friendly-1800mhz-spectrum-from-everything-everywhere.html\" target=\"_blank\">forced to sell off 2 x 15MHz<\/a> to rival <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/threeuk\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Three UK<\/a> but that still leaves enough for a 4G \/ LTE service via their shared network infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>By comparison <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/o2uk\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">O2<\/a> UK and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/vodafoneuk\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Vodafone<\/a> each have one block of paired 2 x 17.5MHz in the 900MHz band (please correct us if we\u2019re wrong), while to get the most from an LTE service you really need <strong>20MHz<\/strong> (it can work with 10MHz but that&#8217;s not particularly attractive). To clarify, an entry of 2 x 17.5MHz means a total of two blocks of 17.5MHz, one designated for upload and the other for download. The blocks may not be contiguous and could be fragmented across the band.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #339966;\">Other Problems<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>On top of that O2 UK has already put significant investment into launching <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/3g\">3G<\/a> services over the 900MHz band (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/story\/2011\/03\/18\/o2-boosts-uk-3g-mobile-broadband-coverage-and-speed-via-900mhz-spectrum.html\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>), which occurred in March last year after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ofcom\" target=\"_blank\">Ofcom<\/a> allowed the operator to expand its uses beyond the slower 2G-only services. Changing this again so soon might not be the best move and could agitate some customers.<\/p>\n<p>Suffice to say that both O2 and Vodafone would ideally need more 900MHz spectrum to deliver 4G properly, without compromising other requirements. Similarly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/threeuk\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Three UK<\/a> might be unhappy about being left as the odd one out (forced to wait for 800MHz and 1800MHz until the end of 2013).<\/p>\n<p>A better solution might simply be for O2 and Vodafone to capitalise on the affordable coverage advantages of 900MHz and deploy faster HSPA+ mobile broadband technology into more parts of the country. At this early stage of 4G&#8217;s development there&#8217;s not likely to be much difference between that and a strong HSPA+ setup but they\u2019re naturally rather do all of this via 4G.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Several reports have suggested that O2 UK and Vodafone are considering the possibility of re-purposing their existing 900MHz radio spectrum for use by the next generation of 4G superfast mobile broadband (LTE) technology, which could be used as a means of combatting EE&#8217;s new 4G via 1800MHz service (details).
