UMTS
900
provides
superior
coverage
as
compared
to
U2100.
This
is
evident
from
the
law
of
physics
that
:
Electromagnetic
wavelength
is
=
(Speed
of
Light)/(Frequency
of
the
electromagnetic
waves)
where
speed
of
Light
-
3x10^8
m/sec
and
is
a
constant
Hence
,
it
can
be
understood
that
900
spectrum
has
better
propagation
characteristics
than
2100.
Additionally,
U900
has
better
Receive
signal
(RSCP)
at
any
given
point
as
compared
to
U2100.
Better
signal
strength
means
better
CQI
(Channel
Quality
Index)
and
lesser
interference
leading
to
higher
user
throughputs
at
indoors.
In
other
words
HSDPA
coverage
of
U900
is
better
than
U2100.
Typically
U900
cell
coverage
is
almost
twice
the
coverage
of
U2100
cell.
Also,
it
has
better
in-building
penetration
as
compared
to
U2100.
U900
has
better
3G
coverage
in
deep
indoors,
whereas
users
of
U2100
network
have
high
probability
to
fall
back
to
2G
network
in
deep
indoors
under
low
coverage
of
U2100.
Additionally
U900
has
better
signal
strength
than
GSM
900,
as
the
better
sensitivity
of
the
base
station
in
U900
band
than
in
GSM
900.
This
makes
U900
gives
better
voice
calling
experience.
1. Simulation
results
from
GSMA
(Global
suppliers
of
Mobiles
Association)
shows
that
U900
has
significantly
better
Voice
and
Data
coverage
as
compared
to
U2100
and
GSM
900/1800.
2. Slides
from
Qualcomm
also
clarifies
the
U900
advantages
over
U2100
and
GSM
900

3. According
to
Ovum
Consulting,
in
its
summary
report
to
GSMA,
U900
benefits
are
highlighted
