7. Network evolution example
Driven by spectrum availability
GSM
HSPA
LTE
Step 1: GSM & HSPA in existing bands
850 1900
700
Step 2: Introduction of HSPA Dual carrier + LTE in new band
Step 3: LTE Coverage and capacity expansion in new bands
1700 2100
2600
New spectrum bands are needed to introduce LTE today, and more spectrum will be
required in the future to expand capacity and coverage
