n29 (700 MHz SDL)

The n29 band, also referred to as the "700d" band, is a 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…) band 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 and operates around 700 MHz. The SDL configuration means this band is used exclusively for downlink communication, enhancing the available downlink capacity. Predominantly used in North America, its lower frequency allows for excellent coverage and building penetration, augmenting network performance in both urban and rural areas.
