4 Summary of LTE Spectrum Preferred Spectrum Most Operators prefer 2.6G as their spectrum for LTE deployment. Lower spectrum(700mhz/dd) for rural coverage Spectrum Refarming Refarm 1.8G can reduce the license fee Refarm 900MHz for HSPA+ to offload data traffic Alterna0ve TDD Spectrum 2.6G in some ME countries is for military. So only TDD frequency is available for LTE deployment Since KSA/China/India already invest on TDLTE, the industry chain will be matured and cost will be reduced.
