n24 (1600 MHz)

The n24 band, referred to as the "1600 L" 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 1600 MHz and used in 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. The "L" stands for "Lower" in the 1600 MHz spectrum. The n24 band may be repurposed from its historical usage, which includes various satellite and terrestrial services, for 5G deployment in North America. It can provide balanced coverage and capacity for 5G networks. The n24 band was allocated by 3GPP in Release 17.1 (August 2022). The hardware ecosystem supporting the 1600 MHz band is limited.
