With the help of the Multiradio we could share the spectrum and launch LTE on a lot of [existing] sites ... The effort NSN has added was perfect. Our Customer feedback was extremely good. They were very very surprised by the performance. Franz Voglhofer, Radio Network Expert, Telia Denmark
LTE 1800 lessons

1. LTE 1800 can serve as the main LTE band or support multi-band strategy 2. Nokia Siemens Networks efficient GSM features compress GSM traffic, maintaining quality 3. Majority of operators roll out LTE 1800 with 10 MHz or wider LTE carrier

performance differentiation vs HSPA networks only single planning effort for GSM Flexi RF Module supports up to 35 MHz Tx bandwidth Where spectrum is fragmented, LTE 1800 diplexer can be used
4. Many operators refarm U900 and LTE 1800 simultaneously 5. RF sharing (GSM and LTE sharing an RF Module) ensures optimal site solution 6.
Network optimization before and after LTE 1800 rollout leads to the best performance

Under study: possibility to tighten carrier spacing

Nokia Siemens Networks studies the option of tighter carrier spacing
(GSM TRX in the nominal LTE carrier space) 3GPP specification requires LTE devices to tolerate blocking signal > 200 kHz offset from LTE carrier edge: No device specification for narrower carrier spacing Evaluation of performance of LTE devices and chipsets is ongoing With carrier separations below 5.1 MHz (for 10 MHz carrier) the impact of interference may become visible, depending on multiple factors incl: Type of deployment, additional software features, network parameters and
optimization, implementation of filters, geographical user distribution, network load etc.

With deployment considerations and new software features on GSM and
