The 3.5 GHz range (also known as C-band ) is the basis for the first implementations of 5G globally. This spectrum is at a balancing point between coverage and capacity that provides the perfect environment for the earliest 5G connectivity.
Read moreWhat is the 2.5 GHz band?
The 2.5 GHz band is the largest band of contiguous spectrum below 3 gigahertz – and its technical characteristics make this spectrum band highly suitable for next-generation mobile broadband services, including 5G. But much of the 2.5 GHz band lies fallow and unused throughout the United States.
Read moreWhat is paired spectrum in 5G?
Radio spectrum is often organised (and sold) as paired spectrum – a block of spectrum in a lower frequency band and an associated block of spectrum in an upper frequency band . This arrangement of frequency bands with one band for the uplink and one band for the downlink is called paired spectrum.

5G NR supports carrier aggregation with 16 CCs . Carrier aggregation of LTE and 5G NR carriers is also possible which is known as Dual Connectivity (DC).
Read moreWho owns the wireless spectrum?
The winning bidders in a record-breaking auction of licenses for wireless spectrum were revealed on Wednesday, and Verizon Communications took the lion’s share. Telecom companies bid a combined $81 billion on frequencies in the so-called C-Band that will be particularly useful for their next-generation 5G networks.24 Şub 2021
Read moreWho owns 5G airwaves?
AT&T (T +1%) dominated spending in the latest FCC 5G airwaves auction, and was largely joined by Dish Network (DISH -0.1%) – and somewhat surprisingly, Verizon (VZ -0.5%) was absent, the agency has revealed.
Read moreWhat is paired and unpaired spectrum in 5G?
In unpaired spectrum, asymmetry may be provided through the use of unequal duty cycles in the time domain for uplink and downlink. In paired spectrum, asymmetry is also possible via the deployment of unequal bandwidths for uplink and downlink.22 Tem 2011
