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 moreWhat are the 5G bands?
The frequency bands for 5G networks come in two sets. Frequency range 1 (FR1) is from 450 MHz to 6 GHz, which includes the LTE frequency range. Frequency range 2 (FR2) is from 24.25 GHz to 52.6 GHz . The sub-6 GHz range is the name for FR1 and the mmWave spectrum is the name for FR2.
Read moreWhat is band N77?
n77 is a FR1 5G NR Band . It follows Time Division Duplexing (TDD) mode that requires only a single frequency band for both uplink and downlink. 5G NR Band n77 has a frequency range from 3300 – 4200 MHz with a bandwidth of 900 MHz.
Read moreIs C-band 5G faster?
C-Band delivers fast speeds but with a wider reach than millimeter wave-based 5G, which is what Verizon and AT&T used for their initial super-fast coverage.

A mid band (2.5/3.5GHz) tower covers a several-mile radius with 5G that currently ranges from 100 to 900Mbps.10 Ara 2019
Read moreWhat is the frequency range of C-band in GHz?
C-band sits between 3.4 GHz and 4.2 GHz and is emerging as a prime resource for the capacity crunch without incurring high-cost investments that would otherwise be required to upgrade the infrastructure.
Read moreHow Far Will C-band travel?
Verizon’s C-band network showed decent range in testing in a dense part of Queens, NY. Cell distance is a tricky thing. This paper from 2006 estimates that 3.5GHz networks can go up to 1.2 miles from each site in an urban area and up to 6.2 miles in a rural area .
