3GPP 700mhz Band Designation Project. Learn More
Select Spectrum offers licensed spectrum in the Upper 700 MHz A Block. The band is ideal for LTE Narrowband-Internet of Things (NB-IoT), Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA), Distribution Automation (DA), and many other Voice and Data applications and is predominantly used by electric utilities, petrochemical firms, and rail line organizations.
Please see the information below and review our Upper 700 MHz A Block Spectrum Summary to learn more about the availability of this spectrum and further details regarding compatible equipment and technical specifications.

Low-band spectrum conforming to global 3GPP standards leverages excellent propagation and range, connecting up to thousands of low-cost devices with long battery life.
Over a dozen manufacturers support mission-critical applications, including Supervisory Control & Data Acquisition (SCADA), Land Mobile Radio (LMR), and Distribution Automation (DA).
Nineteen untilities have acquired spectrum rights in their service areas, constructing private untility owned Filed Area Networks and Point-to-Point connections, archieving minimal signal interference.
This study by Afterimage shows that a system built with the Upper 700 MHz A Block covers 95% of a 100 square mile area using only 25 towers. With 2.3 GHz, and 57 towers, only 75% coverage is obtained.
This policy document is meant to be a guideline of practices for all users of the 700 MHz A block spectrum to help alleviate interference with other nearby users.
MiMOMax –
Puloli, Select Spectrum, and Access Spectrum have launched an initiative to obtain a channel designation from the 3GPP (the cellular industry global standards organization) for the Upper 700 MHz A Block. This revision will provide more options to utilities holding 700 MHz licenses and increase the range of applications that compatible with the band including the addition of low-cost, battery operated remote devices.
