Entel the mobile operator in Chile has contracted Ericsson for the deployment of a 700MHz network. Both companies have recently completed Latin America’s first data session on the APT700 spectrum. The trial was conducted by enabling 10 test sites with equipment using APT700 MHz frequency band on Entel’s live 4G LTE network in Rancagua city, which is located 85 km south of Santiago de Chile. Entel launched 4G LTE services in March 2014 through spectrum in the 2.6GHz band. The telco obtained 30MHz of spectrum in the 700MHz band. Entel, Movistar and Claro are waiting the government to issue the decree to start using the 700MHz band. Entel has two years to deploy the network infrastructure once it receives the assigned spectrum.
