In quick summary, the bands work as follows in the real world. One low band (600-700MHz) tower can cover hundreds of square miles with 5G service that ranges in speed from 30 to 250 megabits per second (Mbps). A mid band (2.5/3.5GHz) tower covers a several-mile radius with 5G that currently ranges from 100 to 900Mbps.10 Ara 2019
Read moreHow many 5G bands are there in 5G?
5G comes in three major bands which are Low-frequency bands, Medium range frequency bands and High range frequency bands and not all bands are equal. Low and Mid band frequencies come under the Sub-GHz umbrella which is similar to the 4G LTE network that comes in Sub 6 GHz umbrella as well.

The 5G band n261 is a subset of the n257 (28 GHz) band, established to match the United States’ 28 GHz band plan . mmWave in 28 GHz band is a widely trialled / tested 5G band. Development of mmWave 28 GHz band is ongoing and is headed up by the 3GPP TR 38.815.
Read moreWhat are the frequency ranges in which NR can operate in Release 15?
In Release 15, 3GPP has defined two frequency ranges: Frequency range 1 (FR1), which extends from 450 megahertz (MHz) to 7.125GHz, and frequency range 2 (FR2), which extends from 24.25 to 52.6GHz (Table 1).27 Kas 2020
Read moreWhat is NR FR1?
Frequency Range 1 (FR1) includes sub-6GHz frequency bands , some of which are bands traditionally used by previous standards, but has been extended to cover potential new spectrum offerings from 410 MHz to 7125 MHz.
Read moreWhat is n2 band?
n2 is a frequency band designated by the 5G NR standard . Note that in 5G, the NR bands are defined with prefix of “n”. When the NR band is overlapping with the 4G LTE band, they share the same band number.

FDD deployments provide greater coverage than TDD Mobile devices in a Frequency Division Duplexing (FDD) system transmit on a continuous basis, which enables devices to achieve cell edge rates farther from the base station .
