jOERG,

Thanks for the reply!

Some info:

> PLS8-E:
Quad Band LTE: 800/900/1800/2600 MHz, FDD-Band (20,8,3,7)
Tri Band UMTS (WCDMA): 900/1800/2100 MHz,
FDD-Band (8,3,1)
Dual Band GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 900/1800 MHz
> PLS8-US
Quad Band LTE: 700/850/AWS(1700/2100)/1900 MHz,
FDD-Band (17,5,4,2)
Tri Band UMTS (WCDMA): 850AWS(1700/2100)/1900 MHz,
FDD-Band (5,4,2)
Quad Band GSM/GRPS/EDGE: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz

I'd have to say, even though I wouldn't get 850MHz HSDPA+, I'd go with the PLS8-E module. If, however, there were a large concerted rollout of 700MHz LTE in regional areas, I'd go with a PLS8-US module. I don't see Telstra doing that anytime soon though, even though Optus has their eyes on 700MHz licences.

Certainly is interesting times, and we must choose wisely in Australia depending on local conditions when you have the boards ready in respect to what networks we have available to us at that time. In the meantime, I'm going to call in some favours with people I know in Telstra and Optus and ask them about their rollout plans.

We will see! If I get firm information about rollouts, I will report back to you all, for Australian customers.

Thanks again!
