Ericsson joins 450 MHZ Alliance to strengthen critical communications

Ericsson has joined the 450 MHz Alliance to support critical mobile communications networks for industries such as public safety and utilities that require secure and resilient wide-area coverage.

Traditionally regarded as a niche band, 450MHz spectrum has grown in relevance to the mission-critical networks market in recent years. The 450MHz band addresses critical network users’ needs with a wider reach at a reasonable cost.

The 450MHz Alliance is an industry association that represents the interests of industries that recognize the potential of 450MHz spectrum. Its members include communications service providers and equipment manufacturers and companies representing multiple industries.
