NSA, as the name suggests, is a 5G service that does not ‘stand alone’ but is built over an existing 4G network. SA, on the other hand, allows completely independent operation of a 5G service without any interaction with an existing 4G core.17 Ara 2020
Read moreWhat is the 700 MHz band used for?
The location of the 700 MHz Band — just above the remaining TV broadcast channels — gives it excellent propagation characteristics. This allows the 700 MHz signals to penetrate buildings and walls easily and to cover larger geographic areas with less infrastructure (relative to frequencies in higher bands).

Read moreWhich 5G bands are used in the UK?
The current deployments for 5G in the UK and much of the world have been using the 3.4-3.6 GHz sub-part of the mid-band spectrum, or more recently up to 3.68 GHz in the UK including the 3.605-3.68 GHz spectrum of Three UK (extended downwards to 3.6 GHz recently by Ofcom, permitting Three to use a contiguous 100 MHz at …

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.
