Why Refarming? Demands from Data Growth

Data services offset the
falls of voice revenue and
becomes the key driver to
growth
Voice ARPU falls in 4 countries
No 3G service in rural area

Refarming Get Better Network on Lower Cost
Radio planning U900 vs. U2100: about 6dB better link budget in U900, Cell Coverage of
U900 2.5~3 times larger than U2100
Radio planning U900 vs. G900: Link budget +6-9dB, Better receiver sensitivity
Capacity planning: Co-site for higher capacity sharing, 50% fewer sites with U900 than U2100

Sandwich frequency solution
Sandwich allocation flexibly puts U900 carrier

into the proper spectrum location based on the
UU solution and interference consideration
with other operators.
Edge allocation solution

Edge allocation solution has lower frequency
utilization since the more frequency guard
bandwidth shall be reserved to avoid the risk.

Advantages
Disadvantages
Easy to implement RF optimization
much additional cost needed
respectively.
Co-antenna with SASU
Save the installation space and cost for
1) 3G and 2G system can not adjust the down tilt angle and azimuth
antenna and feeder
independently;
2) downlink increase less than 0.6dB loss.
Co-antenna with 3dB

combiner
Save the installation space and cost for
1) 3G and 2G system can not adjust the down tilt angle and azimuth
antenna and feeder
independently;
2) downlink increase more than 3 dB loss.
Co-antenna
with GU mRRU/mRFU
1) save the space and cost of antennas and 3G and 2G system can not adjust the down tilt angle and azimuth
feeders;
independently;
2) No insertion loss;
3) Easy RF tuning for 2G/3G co-coverage

U2100 F1 and F2 have higher priority for HSPA service
than U2100 F0, and such service accessing to F0 will
DRD to F1,F2.

Huawei UMTS900M Refarming

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.

Why Refarming? Demands from Data Growth

No 3G service in rural area

Poor or No data service in rural area

2.1GHz spectrum insufficient for 3G capacity

TCO (UMTS 900MHz) << TCO (UMTS 2.1GHz)

partial 900MHz frequencies spared as GSM subscribers

UMTS grows as GSM turns down

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.

Refarming Get Better Network on Lower Cost
