Ergen Says Narrowband loT Network Will Meet Build-out Mandates

摘要

Dish Network Corp. co-founder and Chairman Charlie Ergen said Aug. 3 that he expects the company's planned narrowband Internet of things network to meet the FCC's 2020 build-out requirements for Dish's AWS-4 and 700 megahertz band licenses. In July, the FCC's Wireless Telecommunications Bureau sent a letter to Dish seeking details on its plans for its AWS-4 and 700 MHz band spectrum (TR, July 13), which one analyst said could spell trouble for Dish.
