@Kennedy, the reason i ask is because in some cases some operators in different countries use different frequency bands. Some on 850 or 900 or 1800 (or both) or 1900 (and almost 10 more others [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GSM_frequency_bands] so I dont know what you mean when you say the frequency band is fixed); and then with 3G there's 850, 1900 and 2100 - hence my question! Have my answer though. -Billy 2009/8/7 nyarotho kennedy <kenyarotho@gmail.com>
GSM is a worldwide standard so the frequency band is fixed i.e. 900/1800 mhz. The GSM standard is principally based on freq reuse within RANs connected to a core network. This means the freq at one BTS is not the same as the next thus avoidin issues of interference et al. For 3G, i would refer you to UMTS/3GPP2 technical specification for next gen networks. Helpful? God bless y'all!
