B67 (700 MHz SDL)

LTE Band 67 operates in the 700 MHz spectrum and is specifically configured 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…) applications. Established by 3GPP in Release 13.2, this band is tailored to the European market, complementing the existing 700 MHz band deployments.

With the primary purpose of providing additional downlink capacity, Band 67 addresses the asymmetrical data traffic pattern observed in modern networks, where downlink demand often outweighs uplink. Its deployment assists operators in offering improved data-intensive services such as video streaming.
