HELSINKI, Finland-L.M. Ericsson and Nokia Corp. said they support the European Telecommunications Standards Institute’s work on a global standard for Global System for Mobile communications on the 450 MHz frequency band.
Nordic Mobile Telephone 450 MHz operators are looking to migrate to digital technology. Ericsson and Nokia say they aim to make GSM 450 products available for market during 2001.
ETSI recently accepted GSM 450 as a work item. This means ETSI is planning to release a specification of the standard for GSM on the 450 MHz frequency band in their GSM-99 specification release.
