What type of wireless communication applications would be enhanced by using licensed spectrum?
Any mission critical or business application requiring interference free communications can benefit from using licensed spectrum. Networks employing licensed spectrum have reliable communications throughout their coverage area. Critical applications such as video surveillance, equipment monitoring, voice, real-time telemetry, network dispatch and more can recognize improved efficiencies from licensed spectrum. Equipment operating on licensed spectrum is typically allowed to transmit at much higher power than unlicensed equipment and WiFi gear, resulting in more reliable communication and in many cases, significantly reduce the amount of network equipment needed. Networks operating in licensed spectrum can be far more cost-effective to deploy and operate than unlicensed equipment needed to provide the same coverage and capacity.
