Ireland’s Commission for Communications Regulation (ComReg) has confirmed that Ericsson, using a test licence issued by ComReg, has done successful LTE trails in Ireland. 

See article Ericsson conducting LTE trials in Dublin as reported last week.

These tests were carried out in the 2.3 GHz band using the TD-LTE technology and demonstrated the capability of TD-LTE to provide high speed broadband services which can be used to support services such as high definition TV, video conferencing and many others.

Commissioner Mike Byrne said “As an integral part of the services that ComReg offers to industry stakeholders, ComReg is very pleased that its test and trial licensing programme has facilitated Ericsson in conducting the first tests of the TD-LTE next generation mobile technology in Ireland. Ireland has a wide range of clean radio frequencies available for test & trial purposes and this valuable resource provides innovators the opportunity to develop, test and trial new services and smart technologies.”
