In a recent interview, Gösta Kallner, Executive Chairman of the 450 Alliance, shared his thoughts on private networks using the 450 MHz spectrum.  

What is the 450 MHz frequency?

From the perspective of the 450 Alliance, 450 MHz is the lowest standardised spectrum for mobile systems and is focused on industrial solutions. The spectrum is used for private networks, which are disconnected from public networks, enhancing security.

What are the advantages of 450 MHz, and who can benefit from it?

A primary advantage of using the 450 MHz frequency is the extensive coverage area per transmitter. Users typically need a secure network with good coverage, whether it's for many low-bandwidth users or a few broadband users. We see the 450 MHz spectrum as well suited to utility, public safety, transportation, and agriculture.

What is the 450 Alliance and what do you do?

The 450 Alliance is a non-profit organization that operates on a global scale, concentrating on the frequency spectrum range of 380 to 512 MHz. Our work encompasses spectrum discussions and consultations with users and regulators globally, supporting use cases, and driving the end-to-end ecosystem.

Westermo are proud members of the 450 Alliance.
