B17 (700 MHz)

The 4G LTE4G LTE: 4G LTE (Long Term Evolution) or the E-UTRAN (Evolved Universal Terrestrial Access Network), introduced in 3GPP Rel. 8, is the radio access component of the Evolved Packet System (EPS) - a purely IP based mobile network standard. As an evolution to 3G UMTS, 4G LTE shares many similarities, such as… B17 (700 MHz) band, also referred to as US 700 Lower B, C, is a specific frequency band used in telecommunications for 4G LTE wireless broadband service. This band operates on a frequency of 700 MHz and is primarily used in the United States. The band is divided into two blocks: B block (704-710 MHz for uplink and 734-740 MHz for downlink) and C block (710-716 MHz for uplink and 740-746 MHz for downlink). This division allows for simultaneous transmission and reception of data. The 700 MHz band, including B17, is highly valued in the telecommunications industry due to its excellent propagation characteristics. It can cover large geographical areas and penetrate buildings more effectively than higher frequency bands. This makes it ideal for both rural areas, where it can cover long distances, and urban areas, where it can provide service in densely populated and built-up environments.
