Hi, I would like to know what spectrum is, different bands/frequencies advantages disadvantages etc.

Also how mobile data works, how DC HSDPA42 works.

It would be greatly appreciated if you fine folk could shed some light on the mystery of telecommunications:)

Firebreaker: Could the same be done for LTE?

Yes; Telecom has achieved 250 Mb/s in trials.

That's insane!!!

So let me get this straight DC HSDPA is two carriers agreeing to work together to get faster speeds?


Yes it's like filling a pool with 1 hose but then your neighbor runs a hose into your pool so the pool is going to fill up twice as quick


Thanks for your help:)

A quick question regarding RBI, will the RBI towers use LTE or HSDPA 42?


Most of the RBI towers use Dual carrier now and in the future LTE will turned on when the 700Mhz auction is complete and the actual hardware is upgraded
