450connect GmbH Awarded License for Usage of the 450 MHz Frequencies in Germany

450connect GmbH awarded the license for the usage of the 450 MHz frequencies for the next 20 years in Germany.

The 450 MHz allocation will be used to establish a Germany-wide, highly resilient and secure LTE radio network for applications of energy and water utilities and other critical infrastructures.

450connect is supported by four equal shareholders - Alliander, a consortium of regional utilities, E.ON and Versorger-Allianz 450 (a consortium of multiple predominantly municipal utilities, with the participation of the EnBW subsidiary Netze BW). Together, these companies supply around 90% of Germany with critical infrastructure services.
