What is U900 network?
After acquiring the 900 MHz spectrum, Turk Telecom teamed up with Huawei to commercially deploy its U900 network. U900 uses a low-frequency 3G band that delivers outstanding network performance in the areas of 4.5G voice fallback, MBB coverage, and data service experience.
What is the frequency band for 3G?
Most 3G networks operate in the 800 MHz, 850 MHz, 900 MHz, 1,700 MHz, 1,900 MHz and 2,100 MHz bands.
What is UMTS and GSM bands?
Originally, the frequency bands used in the Philippines were: 1) GSM: 900 MHz and 1800 MHz, 2) UMTS: 2100 MHz and 850 MHz. As our cellular technology upgrades, frequency bands have been reused to accommodate newer technologies (e.g. 4G).
Is Wcdma same as UMTS?
Key Differences between UMTS vs WCDMA Though both are developed for mobile communications in the 3G network, UMTS is developed for 3G networks alone, whereas WCDMA is developed for 3G networks and 3G+ networks. When we consider WCDMA, it is based on GSM to make the coverage for 2G and 3G.
Is GSM 2G or 3G?
GSM is a second-generation (2G) standard employing time-division multiple-access (TDMA) spectrum-sharing, issued by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).
Is CDMA 2G or 3G?
Comparison table
| Generation | Technology | Encoding |
|---|---|---|
| 2G | CDMA | Digital |
| 3G | CDMA | Digital |
| 3G | W-CDMA | Digital |
| 4G | OFDMA | Digital |
What frequency is 3G and 4G?
Table 1
| 2G, 3G, 4G Frequency Bands in the US | ||
|---|---|---|
| S.N | Cellular Technology in US | Frequency bands in US |
| 2 | CDMA (2G, 3G) | 800 MHz, 1900 MHz |
| 3 | WCDMA (3G) | 850 MHz, 1900 MHz, 2100 MHz |
| 4 | 4G LTE | 600 MHz (B71) |
What is the difference between 3G and UMTS?
The main difference is that UMTS supports 3G and LTE can support 4G communication with better speeds compared to the UMTS. LTE supports the flexible bandwidth with the range in 1.4 to 20 Mhz while UMTS uses the static fixed carrier of frequency 5MHz.
Which is better WCDMA or GSM?
The efficiency and speed are better in WCDMA due to the technology used in the network and the coding channel separating the data columns in the system. This helps to manage the communication channel well in the network and the communication is done faster than GSM. The efficiency and speed are less in GSM.
Does GSM mean 4G?
LTE (Long Term Evolution) is a 4G communication standard designed to be 10x faster than standard 3G. GSM is a digital cellular technology used to transmit data and voice communication at a frequency range of 850MHz to 1900MHz. GSM technology uses a Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) technique to transmit data.
