The impending national rollout of 5G on the C-Band — a radio frequency band between 3.7 and 4.2 GHz — has turned into a turf war between two powerful government agencies.
Read moreWhat is band C spectrum?
C-band is all frequencies of the electromagnetic spectrum measured between 4 Ghz and 8 Ghz ; but the sweet spot of C-band that Verizon and AT&T are buying up is between 3.7 to 3.98GHz. That is used by satellite transmissions, wifi devices, and weather.

Read moreIs sub-6 C-band?
Globally, the C-band refers to frequencies between 4 and 8GHz. In the U.S., however, carriers don’t have access to all those frequencies, and right now, they’re only using frequencies between 3.7 and 3.98GHz. That means that while mid-band is a subset of Sub-6, C-band in the U.S. is a subset of mid-band frequencies .31 Oca 2022

mmWave refers to higher frequency radio bands ranging from 24GHz to 40GHz, and Sub-6GHz refers to mid and low-frequency bands under 6GHz .10 May 2021
Read moreWhat is n78?
In many countries, n78 (3500 MHz), or commonly referred to as the 3.5 GHz 5G band, or C-band 5G , is the most commonly tested and deployed 5G frequency. The n78 band’s popularity is due to its relatively common availability, compared to lower cellular spectrum (below 2700MHz) already widely in use by 3G and 4G networks.
