What is NR NSA bands?

5G New Radio (NR) is the global standard for a unified, more capable 5G wireless air interface . It will deliver significantly faster and more responsive mobile broadband experiences, and extend mobile technology to connect and redefine a multitude of new industries.

Sub-6 Cellular LTE/5G NR Frequency Band Guide. 5G cellular, or 5G NR, supports two frequency ranges, FR1, from 410 MHz to 7125 MHz, and FR2 from 24.45 GHz to 52.6 GHz . The FR1 range, also referred to as “Sub-6,” generally overlaps LTE cellular frequencies.

The Non-Standalone (NSA) mode using a combination of a New Radio (NR) technology for 5G and LTE/LTE-A, and 2 . The Standalone (SA) mode using a unique 5G NR technology where data is sent and received using control between base stations and mobile terminals (UE).

5G NR Differences from LTE LTE has a packet-switched architecture that supports a wide range of data applications . Voice is also supported as voice over LTE (VoLTE) or using fallback mechanisms to 3G and circuit-switched technologies. The 5G NR specification embraces a flexible air interface.
