The Technology

What is LTE450?

LTE450 is Long-Term Evolution (4G LTE) broadband deployed in the 450 MHz frequency band. Unlike public mobile networks that operate at 700-2600 MHz, LTE450 exploits the exceptional propagation characteristics of the 450 MHz band - achieving cell radii of 50-80 km in flat terrain and penetrating deep into buildings and underground infrastructure.

It is the connectivity standard of choice for energy utilities, smart grid operators, water companies and critical national infrastructure. A single LTE450 base station can serve an area that would require 10 or more towers at 1800 MHz.
