Today's Headlines July 18, 2011 India's TRAI Speeds Up 4G Auction Process Rediff Business Share    
The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has identified at least six blocks of 20 MHz spectrum each that can be auctioned to telecom companies for offering 4G services. The spectrum identified includes the 700 MHz and 2.5-2.6 GHz bands. This exercise is part of TRAI's plan to come out with recommendations on 4G auctions by October. A consultation paper on the road map is expected by August. More
Can Sprint Realistically Support Both LTE and WiMAX? Computerworld Share
If there's one telecom company that knows about the follies of supporting two distinct types of wireless technologies at once, it's Sprint. The company went through a merger with Nextel in 2005 that left Sprint running both its own CDMA network and Nextel's iDEN network. With Sprint potentially once again supporting two different types of wireless technologies for its 4G services, does this mean the company is repeating the mistake it made when it acquired Nextel? Not necessarily. The difference between WiMAX and LTE is far smaller than the difference that existed between CDMA and iDEN, so the technical challenges of hosting both networks shouldn't be as difficult. But from a cost standpoint, says Gartner analyst Phil Redman, it will still pose significant challenges. More Wateen Launches WiMAX Service in Pakistan Pakistan Daily Times Share

More  Passive Intermodulation – Cause and Prevention in Wireless Networks — WCAI Webinar July 21 4 p.m. EDT/20:00 GMT With the explosion of wireless data services and the increasing need for bandwidth, antenna sharing and collocated transmitters, the performance and quality of wireless base stations are becoming increasingly important. One parameter that is very sensitive to wireless network performance is passive intermodulation (PIM). This webinar will explain the causes of PIM in the network, including an in-depth look at how to best perform PIM measurements. Preventive measures to avoid PIM will be shared along with a summary of common specifications and standards. Additionally, field test results not previously published will be shown.

Spectrum bands such as 2.5-2.6, 2.3 and 3.4-3.6 GHz increasingly serve as global bands for broadband wireless services. Globally harmonized spectrum, flexible use, consistent regulatory treatment and interoperability are required for such bands to achieve this potential. To advance this goal, the Wireless Communications Association International (WCAI) created the Global Development Committee (GDC) for service providers. This newsletter advances GDC's work by keeping opinion leaders abreast of worldwide developments.
