Frequency Range: Typically, this band operates in the sub-1 GHz spectrum, including frequencies such as 600 MHz and 700 MHz.
Characteristics: Low-band frequencies offer better coverage and penetration through obstacles, making them suitable for wide-area coverage, especially in rural and suburban areas.
Use Case: Low-band frequencies are often used for providing basic 5G coverage over large areas.
Mid-Band (1 GHz to 6 GHz):
Frequency Range: This band includes frequencies in the range of 1 GHz to 6 GHz, covering spectrum such as 2.5 GHz and 3.5 GHz.
Characteristics: Mid-band frequencies provide a balance between coverage and capacity. They offer faster data rates compared to low-band frequencies and better coverage than high-band frequencies.
Use Case: Mid-band frequencies are suitable for providing enhanced mobile broadband services in urban and suburban areas.
High-Band or mmWave (Above 24 GHz):
Frequency Range: High-band frequencies, also known as millimeter-wave (mmWave), operate above 24 GHz, including bands such as 28 GHz and 39 GHz.
Characteristics: mmWave frequencies offer very high data rates but have limited coverage and are susceptible to obstacles like buildings and foliage. They are suitable for high-capacity, short-range communications.
Use Case: mmWave frequencies are often used in dense urban environments for applications like ultra-fast mobile broadband and fixed wireless access.
