Tag: 169 MHz band

The 5G connection provided by the 600MHz frequency is called Band n71 and the extended range 4G LTE is just called Band 71.

Frequency The best combination of long transmission distance and clear frequencies is in the 470 to 548Mhz bands. You can also find a number of wireless microphone systems that operate in the 2.4GHz band.

According to the company, a single 5G 600 MHz cell tower will be able to cover “hundreds of square miles .” That’s dramatically greater coverage in comparison with towers deployed in the millimeter wave band, which according to T-Mobile, cover less than a square mile.

T-Mobile first started its rapid 600 MHz LTE deployment in 2017, when it had on average about 31-megahertz nationwide. In July of this year the FCC officially wrapped up the 39-month repacking process, meaning broadcasters were cleared and relocated from the band.
