n3 (1800 MHz)

n3 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 in the implementation of 5G New Radio (NR) networks. The n3 band, with its central frequency located around 1800 MHz, is a portion of the spectrum commonly referred to as the DCS (Digital Cellular Service) band. Originally used for 2G GSM, and subsequently 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… where it became the world's most popular 4G band, it is now being repurposed in many regions worldwide for 5G deployment. As a mid-band, n3 is particularly valuable due to its ability to offer a balanced combination of coverage and capacity, effectively supporting a broad range of 5G services in diverse settings, from densely populated urban areas to more expansive suburban and even rural locations.
