Question about O2 3G Frequencies.

Merjock

Does anybody know what frequency range is used by the O2 mobile internet product? I'm about to order a cordless Skype phone which communicates wirelessly with my laptop via a USB dongle.The dongle operates in a frequency range of 1.88-1.90 GHZ, and I want to ensure that it's not going to interfere with my O2 mobile modem.

Thanks

(O2 is in there somewhere )

No problems there

GSM 1800 also known as

1.88-1.90 GHZ, and I want to ensure that it's not going to interfere with my O2 mobile modem.

More basic than that. It's probably illegal if it's not a DECT phone. Licence free is 433, 864MHz , 2.4 & 5.8GHz.

I'd suspect it has no CE mark. You importing it?

Unless it's really a DECT phone? As that is the DECT Digital cordless phone band.
It still needs a CE mark.

Maybe the cordless phone part is DECT and the base station uses wiFi + wifi dongle on 2.4Ghz to PC/Laptop?

Merjock

Yes,exactly, it is a DECT phone with Skype capability.
It's a UbiQUiO 101 Cordless Skype and landline phone available from Expansys UK. Appearently, you can also plug it directly into your phone socket for normal PSTN calls.

Sponge Bob

Bet it is a DECT phone that can use usb instead of a phone line

Merjock

No, the PSTN connection is via normal phone cable.But you're right, the connection between base station and PC is via a WiFi dongle operating at 2.4 GHz.
That's the part I was worried about!
