Emaxx selects PureWave to expand WiMAX network

According to Vedomosti, Tele2 Russia has conducted an independent study into the dual use of wireless frequencies in the 1800MHz band for both GSM and Long Term Evolution (LTE) services. After extensive research by equipment vendors Alcatel-Lucent, Ericsson, Huawei and Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN) it has been established that fourth generation services can theoretically be operated in the 1800MHz band without any discernible detriment to the quality of Tele2’s existing GSM operations; Tele2 Russia CEO Dmitry Strashnov has submitted a copy of the study to the State Radio Frequency Commission (SRFC), but minister of communications Igor Shchyogolev has reportedly denied receipt of any such document.
