Huawei says it’s successfully run the world’s first GSM-LTE Dynamic Spectrum Sharing (GL DSS) trial with Vodafone Spain. It’s a technology that allows real-time changes to be made to the allocation of frequencies for 3G GSM and 4G LTE traffic.

GSM is given higher priority in periods of heavy traffic, protecting against the risk of interference to voice calls, while LTE can be given additional spectrum when appropriate. The trial delivered LTE capacity gains of up to 50%.

The reason for trialling GL DSS is the worldwide demand for LTE spectrum. For example; Vodafone currently holds 20MHz of 1.8GHz spectrum, of which 10MHz is used for LTE and the rest for high GSM traffic.

Mark Bridge writes:

The most memorable moments in life often go unrecorded. You don't have your camera in your hands. Your finger is still hovering over the 'pause' button on your audio recorder. Or you were simply too busy experiencing whatever was happening. It's all about the one that got away.

That's where Kapture can help.
