What’s new with 5G is C-band spectrum, which includes radio waves previously used with those gigantic dishes people used to have in their yard for satellite TV . The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) cleared and auctioned off this spectrum for use as 5G cellular service last year.
Read moreWhich frequency is high uplink or downlink?
In satellite communication, the uplink frequency is higher than the downlink frequency because the attenuation level increase with an increase in frequency. The power at the ground station (Base Station) is more than compared to the power available at the satellite.
Read moreWhat is the C-band frequency range?
Sometimes referred to as “mid-band,” you can think of C-band as the “Goldilocks” of frequency: not too low and not too high. It provides a solid mix of coverage and capacity. Operating in the 3.7 GHz to 4.2 GHz range, it sits between the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands (the two Wi-Fi bands).
Read moreWhat is the frequency range for 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.

Operating in the 4 to 8 GHz frequency range, C-band satellite coverage is ideal for intercontinental and global communications over land and sea.
Read moreWhat is band C-band?
L-band, or long band, is a wavelength band immediately adjacent to the Conventional band (C-band) initially used to expand the capacity of terrestrial DWDM optical networks . It is now being introduced to submarine cable operators to do the same thing—expand the total capacity of a submarine cable.
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.
