Cellular Phone Forum / Country Specific / Australian Group / July 2007What GSM frequencies does Australia use?
I know 3 Mobile uses 2100MHz for UMTS and Telstra use 850MHz for UMTS but what GSM bands do the various carriers use? Also, what UMTS band are optus and vodafone going for? > I know 3 Mobile uses 2100MHz for UMTS and Telstra use 850MHz for UMTS but > what GSM bands do the various carriers use?

Also, > what UMTS band are optus and vodafone going for? 900 MHz primarily for old GSM, with some 1800 MHz for infill. A phone with 1800 MHz but no 900 MHz may not even be able to register. All non-Testra Australian UMTS is 2100 MHz.

They obviously have their shared 2100 infrastructure at the moment.

Gaah, that would mean we have YET ANOTHER UMTS frequency on this planet. (along with the 850 and 2100 this country uses, 1900 is used elsewhere) "> Gaah, that would mean we have YET ANOTHER UMTS frequency on this planet. > (along with the 850 and 2100 this country uses, 1900 is used elsewhere) No, 1900 is only used in the Americas. 2100 is the "standard" UMTS frequency elsewhere. > No, 1900 is only used in the Americas. 2100 is the "standard" UMTS frequency > elsewhere. They're all part of the "standard". 2100 is just the most popular.

SignatureThe views I present are that of my own and NOT of any organisation I may belong to. 73 de Simon, VK3XEM. <http://web.acma.gov.au/pls/radcom/client_search.client_lookup?pCLIENT_NO=157452> >> I know 3 Mobile uses 2100MHz for UMTS and Telstra use 850MHz for UMTS but >> what GSM bands do the various carriers use?

It is owned by an entity, 3GIS, which Telstra and 3 jointly own >>> I know 3 Mobile uses 2100MHz for UMTS and Telstra use 850MHz for UMTS >>> but what GSM bands do the various carriers use?

Sounds like it's "shared" to me. >>>> I know 3 Mobile uses 2100MHz for UMTS and Telstra use 850MHz for UMTS >>>> but what GSM bands do the various carriers use?

They both share an entity owned equally by both. That is the difference |
