Telstra has performed a test on Long Term Evolution supplies from Chinese retailer, Huawei to check its effectiveness in a 2G spectrum band, which is being used, at present.

The examination was performed by the Nokia-Siemens Networks in collaboration of Telstra with Telco. The spectrum range being tested in the recent venture was 1800 MHz, which is expected to balance 2600 MHz spectrum and the 700 MHz band, said Huawei.

The spectrum will soon put on a digital share. The 700 MHz and 2600 MHz bands have been recognized by the global transporters for LTE operations.

"Our trials with Huawei are giving us valuable insights into the potential of LTE technology at 1800 MHz", said Telstra.

It added that with the trial, the company will get an idea over how to utilize the current, as well as, future spectrum advantages for bringing global mobile broadband services.

Michael Rocca, Chief Operations Officer for Telstra, said that scrutinizing a range of frequency bands becomes significant in determining the most suitable way for executing the LTE network.

The 1800MHz experiment is being pursued and the test will make use of different antenna configurations. It will also make use of inter-cell interference harmonization for preventing obstruction.
