From a presentation by Richard Keith, Director of Global Strategy, Broadband Access Solutions Home & Networks Mobility, Motorola at LTE World Summit

Anonymous said...: seems like a strange comparison in that the 2.6 ghz sector has 20 mhz and the 800 mhz sector has 10 mhz. Of course you'd expect twice the capacity...; 2 July 2009 at 02:10
Zahid Ghadialy said...: This is based on the practical spectrum availibility. In 800MHz band (which are Digital Dividend bands) only 10MHz chunks would be available whereas in 2.6GHz, 20MHz would easily be possible.; 2 July 2009 at 07:55
Anonymous said...: It mentions the capacity as 53kbps per user in a 20MHz bandwidth. Is that right? If that is the throughput then how is LTE being classified as mobile broadband?; 2 July 2009 at 10:10
