Free Senegal UMTS

@AiPegasus: Do you have a reference for Free's use of the 1900MHz band for UMTS? I could not find any source confirming that the 1900Mz band (band 2) is used in Senegal at all. Cheers, Drahtlos (talk) 22:37, 1 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Drathlos: Hi ! Free (Saga Africa Holdings Limited) uses the 1900 MHz band for UMTS. During a presentation of the ARTP to FRATEL, the ARTP mentions the maintenance of the channels of the 900 MHz band for GSM / UMTS. On this same document, the ARTP mentions the creation of new frequency bands: 1900 MHz & 2100 MHz especially for UMTS. Cheers, Presentation AiPegasus (talk) 16:30, 2 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@AiPegasus: The 2013 presentation mentions for UMTS "1920 – 1980 MHz et 2110 – 2170 MHz UMTS / FDD". These are actually uplink and downlink for the 2100 MHz band (band 1, see UMTS frequency bands). The other band, "1900 – 1920 MHz UMTS / TDD" (band 39) was usually assigned together with band 1 but rarely actually used. Very few devices supported this band. Unless there is another reference for the use of this specific band in Senegal, I would conclude from the document that only UMTS 2100 was actually deployed. This is also what I find in other sources (e.g. [1]). Drahtlos (talk) 17:47, 2 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
