Band 4 AWS(1700/2100MHz) – Operators and UEs

Band 4 (AWS 1700/2100MHz) is used in the United States, Canada, Mexico and Chile. It replaces some of the spectrum formerly allocated to Multipoint Multichannel Distribution Service (MMDS), sometimes referred to as Wireless Cable, which existed from 2150 to 2162 MHz. The AWS band uses microwave frequencies in two segments: from 1710 to 1755 MHz for uplink, and from 2110 to 2155 MHz for downlink. The service is intended to be used by mobile devices such as wireless phones for mobile data, video, and messaging services.

Now, AWS has become “an essential LTE band for LTE roaming support in North America and Latin America, advancing AWS as a solid candidate for one of the essential seven or eight LTE bands deemed critical for global roaming LTE devices and services,” said the Current Analysis report.

Huawei Ascend P2: First impression

 

HUAWEI Ascend P2 is the successor to the HUAWEI Ascend P1 3G Smartphone, which is called the world’s slimmest smartphone and it’s Huawei’s first real high-end smartphone. With the Ascend P2, HUAWEI wants to establish in the upper class.

 

Whether the target could be achieved from HUAWEI Ascend P2, this new Smartphone incorporates many attractive specifications, which is important for all the newcomers. HUAWEI Ascend P1 is with LTE, NFC, quad-core and 13-MP camera, and it brings all the key data corresponding with new and better customer experience. However, the plastic materials give some discount for the upper class. While it is very solid and meticulously crafted, it would not creak and squeak. However, its hepatics are not on top-class level and cannot keep up with the current high-senders as the Xperia Z and HTC one.

 

 

The glossy back cover is not removable, and shows prone to fingerprints, but closes very clean and exemplary with the rest of the housing components. Bases on this, Huawei have worked very solid.
