Mobile operator O2<\/a> (VMO2) has today confirmed to ISPreview.co.uk that they’ve started to deploy the newly released 700MHz spectrum band for use on their latest ultrafast 5G<\/a> mobile (mobile broadband) network, albeit initially limited to areas where they perceive there to be a case of “customer need<\/em>” for it.<\/p>\n

Just to recap. O2<\/a> are already busy deploying 5G<\/a> using kit from Nokia<\/strong> and Ericsson<\/strong>, although until recently they only had access to a limited 40MHz slice of the 3.4GHz<\/strong> band for dedicated 5G<\/a> services (excluding dynamic spectrum sharing with existing 4G<\/a> bands).<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> 700MHz can travel further than higher frequency mobile bands and also penetrates more effectively into buildings.<\/div>\n

However, a few months ago the operator paid Ofcom<\/a> \u00a3448m<\/strong> to obtain a 40MHz slice of the 3.6GHz<\/strong> band and 20MHz of the 700MHz<\/strong> FDD spectrum band (here<\/a>). Both promise to help boost their mobile broadband speeds, although the lower frequency of the 700MHz band is particularly handy – especially when combined with 800MHz and 900MHz (carrier aggregation) – for improving network coverage.<\/p>\n

The first deployment of the 700MHz band via O2<\/a>, which occurred on the recently installed Ericsson flagship unilateral monopoles in Cardiff<\/strong> (Wales), was noted yesterday by mobile expert Peter Clarke<\/a> (via computer scientist Jake M). In response, we hailed O2 to find out more about their rollout plan for the spectrum.<\/p>\n

A Spokesperson for O2 told ISPreview.co.uk:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We are already leveraging our leading position in low-band spectrum to strengthen the experience of our 5G network, and have started deploying this spectrum based on customer need.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We hope to get a few more examples of where this is currently being deployed soon, although for now O2 seem to be a bit cagey about their overall rollout plan. Rival operator EE<\/a> (BT<\/a>) has also started to deploy the 700MHz band across parts of their UK network (here<\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
