NR900

Operating around a central frequency of 900 MHz, this FDD band is used for 5G NR communication. The n8 band was originally used for 2G GSM and has been a key band for 4G LTE in many regions due to its good propagation characteristics. Now it's being repurposed for 5G by some operators. Its lower frequency allows for wide-area coverage and good building penetration, making it suitable for both urban and rural areas.
