what band is aws?
What is AWS? AWS, which stands for Advanced Wireless Services, generally refers to the 1700/2100MHz frequency band pairing in the U.S. that will be used for T-Mobile USA's 3G UMTS network. Unlike typical spectrum licenses sold by the U.S. government, such as the 1900MHz PCS spectrum bands, the AWS bands use different frequency ranges for cell towers than they do for handsets. The U.S. government has indicated that it intends to offer other paired AWS bands in the future, but none are currently in use. Also known as: Advanced Wireless Services See Also: 3G, UMTS
