T-Mobile also announced today that it’s launching new capabilities with 5G carrier aggregation (NR CA), combining two channels of 2.5 GHz mid-band spectrum for greater speed and capacity.
Read moreWhat is considered mid-band?
Spectrum in the 1 GHz – 6 GHz range is mid-band spectrum and it is considered ideal for 5G because it can carry plenty of data while also traveling significant distances. The GSMA describes spectrum in the 3.3 GHz to 3.8 GHz range as particularly appealing.
Read moreWhat is mid-band spectrum?
It’s the mid-band spectrum, the middle layer of the cake, that brings together the best of both worlds: long range for broad coverage, with high capacity and speed and the ability to penetrate walls . This is why mid-band has been called the “sweet spot” spectrum for 5G.

Read moreWhat is the frequency range of C-band *?
C-band refers to the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum allotted for satellite transmissions in the 4GHz to 8GHz frequency range. C-band satellite antennas are used frequently in areas of the world where signals can become degraded due to heavy rain or other intense climate-related conditions.
Read moreIs C-band the same as 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.
