n18 (800 MHz)

The n18 band, known as the "800 Lower" 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 operating around 800 MHz, allocated for 5G NR5G NR: 5G was developed with three broad use case families in mind: enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), massive machine-type communications (mMTC) and ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC). eMBB focuses on across-the-board enhancements to the data rate, latency, user density, capacity and… networks in 3GPP Rel. 16. The "Lower" refers to its position within the 800 MHz spectrum, with frequencies less than the mid-band range. This band, with its solid coverage and good signal penetration, supports widespread mobile broadband services and IoT applications. The n18 band has been allocated by 3GPP in support of 5G networks in Japan.
