450 MHz — The spectrum phoenix

During the 1980s and early 1990s, 450 MHz was the spectrum band used for first-generation mobile networks by most countries in Europe and Asia. These networks primarily used the NMT-450 standard for analog mobile telephony. The 450 MHz band was an obvious choice, as its long wavelength provided exceptional coverage with low infrastructure costs, necessitating significantly fewer base stations compared to higher spectrum bands.
