B29 (700 MHz SDL)

LTE Band 29 operates within the 700 MHz range and is unique due to its use solely for Supplemental Downlink (SDLSDL: A radio communication strategy primarily used in 4G LTE and 5G NR systems where additional spectrum is allocated exclusively for downlink (base station to user equipment) communication. This method is particularly useful in situations where there is asymmetrical traffic demand, typically with a…). This means it's dedicated exclusively to downlink transmissions, enhancing data capacity in areas with asymmetrical traffic demands where downlink data requirements outweigh the uplink. Given its sub-1 GHz nature, it provides robust propagation benefits, facilitating improved coverage. Its deployment complements primary LTE bands to address the increasing downlink-centric demands observed in modern mobile broadband usage.
