APT 700 MHz band growing in popularity

Australian Communications and Media Authority

Tuesday, 17 March, 2015

Building on early support from Australia, Asia and Latin America, the push for near-universal adoption of the Asia-Pacific Telecommunity APT 700 MHz band is gaining momentum around the globe, according to the ACMA. Forty-two countries are now allocating, committed to or recommending the use of the band for advanced wireless broadband services. This year has also seen the number of APT 700 MHz capable devices increase from 55 to 76 in a matter of months. In addition, it appears likely that Europe will at least partially harmonise with the APT 700 MHz plan, further increasing the benefits that come from international harmonisation.
