n1 (2100 MHz)

The n1 (2100 MHz) band is a Frequency Division Duplexing (FDDFDD: A communication technology that uses separate frequency bands for transmitting and receiving operations. This technique enables simultaneous bi-directional communication by allocating one frequency band for upstream (transmission from the user equipment to the base station) and another distinct…) band used for 5G New Radio (NR) communication. With a nominal central frequency around 2100 MHz, the n1 band is a key component of many 5G networks globally. Previously used for 3G UMTS3G UMTS: UMTS is an umbrella term for the third generation radio technologies developed by the 3GPP. UMTS specifies a complete network system, for which the radio access component, known as UTRAN, uses WCDMA technology to offer greater spectral efficiency and bandwidth to mobile network… and 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… systems, this band has been repurposed in many regions for 5G deployment due to its balanced characteristics, offering a good blend of coverage and capacity. Given its history, it often coexists with legacy systems, allowing for a more seamless transition towards 5G.
