The new frequency, C-Band, hits the sweet spot in 5G frequencies, offering the widest coverage with the highest speeds possible. The C-Band operates in the 3.7-3.98GHz frequency , which is close to the 4.2-4.4GHz frequency used by altimeters on airlines.

C-band holders in the U.S. are in line to receive $9.7 billion in total for clearing 300 MHz of the band for terrestrial 5G wireless operators by Dec. 5, 2023 , by moving customers to the upper 200 MHz of the band. Intelsat and SES are set to get $4.9 billion and $3.97 billion, respectively, under the FCC’s plan.

The Ku band frequency range is 11.7 – 12.2 GHz (or 11700 to 12220 MHz) Notice how these frequencies are higher than the C band frequency range . Because of the higher frequencies, Ku band waves have shorter wavelengths. Shorter wavelengths mean that you need a smaller dish to receive these frequencies.

The flavors of 5G This range is where C-Band lives (3.7GHz to 3.98GHz in the US) . High-Band: Everything above 6GHz, including mmWave signals, which operate between 30GHz and 300GHz.7 Şub 2022
Read moreIs C-band low-band or mid-band?
Through the C-band auction, Verizon was able in one fell swoop to more than double its holdings in the lower bands of spectrum – at 3.7 GHz, C-band is considered mid-band but lower than the high-band mmWave.
Read moreWhat is the C-band range?
According to wireless testing firm Rohde and Schwarz, the C-band is all frequencies between 4 and 8GHz . When US wireless geeks talk about C-band, though, they’re talking about 3.7 to 4.2GHz—and specifically, in this case, the range from 3.7 to 3.98GHz.
Read moreIs C-band mid-band?
The terms C-band and “Mid-band” are often used interchangeably . It is more accurate to describe the C-band frequency range as a component of the larger 3.3 – 4.2 GHz mid-band spectrum. Mid-band resides within frequency range 1 (FR1), located squarely between low-band FR1 and the “millimeter wave” (FR2) RF spectrum.
