RD216 - ETNO Reflection Document on the future use of the band 2010-2020 MHzÂ

The band should remain designated1 to UMTS/IMT-2000, with flexibility regarding TDD and FDD operation. In the case of FDD operation, pairing with the 2.6 GHz extension band, the former upper TFTS band 1800-1805 MHz and the lower TDD core band 1900-1920 MHz should be considered.

ETNO agrees there is no market demand for self provided applications within the band 2010-2020 MHz and supports the consideration of alternative usages within this band. The band should remain designated1 to UMTS/IMT-2000, with flexibility regarding TDD and FDD operation. In the case of FDD operation, pairing with the 2.6 GHz extension band, the former upper TFTS band 1800-1805 MHz and the lower TDD core band 1900-1920 MHz should be considered.
