1500 L-band
3GPP Band 32, operating in the 1500 MHz frequency range, is a specialised 3G UMTS band known for its unique downlink-only configuration. It is primarily used for supplementing network capacity by providing additional downlink resources. In this band, cell towers transmit on frequencies 1452 to 1496 MHz, but there is no corresponding uplink from mobile devices. Band 32 is restricted to UTRA operation when dual band is configured (e.g., DB-DC-HSDPA or dual band 4C-HSDPA).
