Telus Mobility
Revision as of 14:49, 9 March 2023 by Aoeuidhtns (talk | contribs)
Telus, or Telus Mobility, is a Canadian CDMA/UMTS/LTE provider.
3G (UMTS)
Telus has deployed 3G UMTS (DC-HSPA+) on both the CLR (850 Mhz) and PCS (1900 MHz) band. Note, 3G has been reduced to HSPA+ due to refarming to LTE.
Cell ID Layout
This is the standard layout for 3-sector towers and most towers follow this pattern. In the case of a 2-sector tower, one cardinal direction would be omitted. For example, a tower located to the east of a North-South highway might omit the Northeast sectors. There are also a handful of sites with ominidirectional antennas that only use sector IDs 10 & 20 or 10 & 30.

4G (LTE)
Telus has deployed LTE on the following bands: 2/4/5/7/12/13/17/26/29/30/46/66. Telus also owns the PCS-G block (band 25) and 600 MHz (band 71) in parts of Canada.

Carrier Aggregation
Huawei RAN supports any valid 3GPP combination up to 5CA.
MIMO
- B4 has 4x2 MIMO enabled in some areas
WCS (2300 MHz TDD)
There is also limited WCS (2300 MHz, LTE Band 40 TDD) deployment in major towns and cities. The WCS network seems to be completely separate from the rest of the LTE network, and does not broadcast the Bell network like the rest of the network does. Likewise, the CellID layout and TACs are completely different, which results in a separate logical eNB. The WCS eNB ID is the "regular" eNB + 2000. For example, eNB 110102 (non-WCS) = 110102 + 2000 = 112102. Note, these sites may not be at the exact same location. For example, in Hope, BC, the WCS site is downtown while the regular eNB is on a nearby hillside.
Cell ID Layout (WCS Band 40)

Notes:
- Rural LTE sites seem to be set up for Band 5/17 only, especially along the Coquihalla highway.
- Telus is still deploying 3G only sites in smaller towns as of 2016.
