In our industry, most people would agree that spectrum is a hot topic – it’s the most valuable resource for a wireless company. But it’s become a crucial issue because, as we all know, spectrum is finite. Wireless operators must deploy this resource in ways that not only provide coverage wherever a user might want to consume bandwidth, but also provide needed capacity for a good customer experience. This coverage and capacity dynamic has driven substantial developments in the wireless ecosystem over the past few years, especially at Nokia.
It’s clear up here for Globalstar spectrum
Nokia customer Globalstar Inc., a U.S. based provider of mobile satellite voice and data services, is in the enviable position of having 2.4 GHz spectrum that works everywhere, meaning it has been globally allocated. 2.4 GHz spectrum is in the sweet spot from a physics perspective because it’s good for both coverage and capacity.
