Telecom regulator Trai recommended that the government adopt FDD technology for 700 Mhz band, considered a premium spectrum band, for 4G services.
Some Indian operators have launched 4G services using the LTE-TDD, while in other parts of the world FDD-LTE is the predominant technology for 4G services.
Experts had said both LTE-TDD and FDD are only variants. “…authority recommends that APT700 band plan should be adopted for the 700 MHz spectrum band (698-806 MHz) with FDD based 2×45 MHz frequency arrangement,” Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) said.
