From the Japanese MPT....I believe that this is uniform throughout Asia and Europe. mpt.go.jp 2. Spectrum Allocation (1) Utilize spectra of 120MHz in total (1920-1980MHz (land mobile station ---> base station) and 2110-2170MHz (base station ---> land mobile station)). (2) Based on the Technical Regulations in the 1 above, divide each of the spectrum bands for land mobile stations and for base stations into three 20MHz blocks respectively and use as pairs with 190MHz separation. On radio station licensing, decide spectra to allocate from each bock with full consideration of fair use of radio spectrum and of avoidance of unfavorable interference with PHS or existing fixed stations.

Chaz, << Just out of curiosity is there any bridge or path from EDGE to WCDMA >> Possibly, but I'm not really sure. EDGE is of course being touted as a 3G solution specifically designed to integrate into existing spectrum and theoretically will allow IP communications to 384 Kbps. My general impression is that it lacks the 2Mbps indoor capability of WCDMA or cdma200 although WCDMA data networking is supposedly based on based on EDGE/GPRS infrastructure protocols. Presumably EDGE (GSM or TDMA) will be capaple of authenticating to a WCDMA network using multiple mode, multiple band mobiles. << what frequency or frequencies DoCoMo proposes to use for its WCDMA (DS) introduction next year at this time >> Thanks to Slacker for the skinny on this. - Eric -
