5G NR Frequency Bands
Frequency bands for 5G New Radio (5G NR), which is the air interface or radio access technology of the 5G mobile networks, are separated into two different frequency ranges. First there is Frequency Range 1 (FR1), which includes sub-7 GHz frequency bands, some of which are traditionally used by previous standards, but has been extended to cover potential new spectrum offerings from 410 MHz to 7125 MHz. The other is Frequency Range 2 (FR2), which includes frequency bands from 24.25 GHz to 71.0 GHz. In November and December 2023, a third band, Frequency Range 3 (FR3), covering frequencies from 7.125 GHz to 24.25 GHz, was proposed by the World Radio Conference; as of September 2024, this band has not been added to the official standard. Frequency bands are also available for non-terrestrial networks (NTN) in both the sub-7 GHz and in the 17.3 GHz to 30 GHz ranges. Frequency bands From the latest published version (Rel. 18) of the ...

5G New Radio
5G NR (5G New Radio) is a radio access technology (RAT) developed by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) for the 5G (fifth generation) mobile network. It was designed to be the global standard for the air interface of 5G networks. It is based on orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM), as is the 4G (fourth generation) long-term evolution (LTE) standard. The 3GPP specification 38 series provides the technical details behind 5G NR, the successor of LTE. The study of 5G NR within 3GPP started in 2015, and the first specification was made available by the end of 2017. While the 3GPP standardization process was ongoing, the industry had already begun efforts to implement infrastructure compliant with the draft standard, with the first large-scale commercial launch of 5G NR having occurred in the end of 2018. Since 2019, many operators have deployed 5G NR networks and handset manufacturers have developed 5G NR enabled handsets. Frequency bands 5G NR uses f ...

U-NII
The Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (U-NII) radio band, as defined by the United States Federal Communications Commission, is part of the radio frequency spectrum used by WLAN devices and by many wireless ISPs. As of March 2021, U-NII consists of eight ranges. U-NII 1 through 4 are for 5 GHz WLAN ( 802.11a and newer), and 5 through 8 are for 6 GHz WLAN ( 802.11ax) use. U-NII 2 is further divided into three subsections. Wireless ISPs generally use 5.725–5.825 GHz. In the USA licensed amateur radio operators are authorized 5.650–5.925 GHz by Part 97.303 of the FCC rules. U-NII power limits are defined by the United States CFR Title 47 (Telecommunication), Part 15 - Radio Frequency Devices, Subpart E - Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure Devices, Paragraph 15.407 - General technical requirements. Many other countries use similar bands for Wireless communication due to a shared IEEE standard. However, regulatory use in individual countrie ...

Ka Band
The Ka band (pronounced as either "kay-ay band" or "ka band") is a portion of the microwave part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The designation "Ka-band" is from Kurz-above, which stems from the German word ''kurz,'' meaning "short". There is no standard definition of Ka-band. IEEE Standard letter designations for Radar Bands define the nominal frequency range for Ka band in the range 27–40 gigahertz (GHz) in Tables 1 and 2 of IEEE Standard 521 i.e. wavelengths from slightly over one centimeter down to 7.5 millimeters. The ITU however approves Ka-band satellite networks in the 17.3-31 GHz frequency range, with most Ka-band satellite networks having uplinks in the 27.5–31 GHz and downlinks in the 17.7–21.2 GHz range. The band is called Ka, short for "K-above" because it is the upper part of the original (now obsolete) NATO K band, which was split into three bands because of the presence of the atmospheric water vapor resonance peak at 22.24 G ...

V Band
The V band ("vee-band") is a standard designation by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) for a band of frequencies in the microwave portion of the electromagnetic spectrum ranging from 40 to 75 gigahertz (GHz). The V band is not heavily used, except for millimeter wave radar research and other kinds of scientific research. It should not be confused with the 600–1,000 MHz range of Band V (Band Five) of the UHF frequency range. The V band is also used for high capacity terrestrial millimeter wave communications systems. In the United States, the Federal Communications Commission has allocated the frequency band from 57 to 71 GHz for unlicensed wireless systems. These systems are primarily used for high capacity, short distance (less than 1 mile or 1.6 km) communications. In addition, frequencies at 70, 80, and 90 GHz have been allocated as "lightly licensed" bands for multi-gigabit wireless communications. All communications ...

K Band (IEEE)
The IEEE K-band is a portion of the radio spectrum in the microwave range of frequencies from 18 to 27 gigahertz (GHz). The range of frequencies in the center of the K-band between 18 and 26.5 GHz are absorbed by water vapor in the atmosphere due to its resonance peak at 22.24 GHz, . Therefore these frequencies experience high atmospheric attenuation and cannot be used for long-distance applications. For this reason, the original K-band has been split into three bands: Ka-band, K-band, and Ku-band as detailed below. The K stands for , the German word for 'short'. Subdivisions Because of the water vapor absorption peak in the center of the band, the IEEE K-band is conventionally divided into three sub-bands: * Ku-band (K-under band, 12–18 GHz): mainly used for satellite communications, direct-broadcast satellite television, terrestrial microwave communications, and radar, especially police traffic speed detectors. * K-band (18–27 GHz): due to the ...

Land Mobile Radio System
A land mobile radio system (LMRS) is a person-to-person voice communication system consisting of two-way radio transceivers (an audio transmitter and receiver in one unit) which can be stationary (base station units), mobile (installed in vehicles), or portable (handheld transceivers e.g. " walkie-talkies"). Public land mobile radio systems are available for use by commercial businesses offering communications service to the public for a fee. This would include mobile telephone and paging service, as examples. Private land mobile radio systems are available for use by public safety organizations such as police, fire, ambulance, and other governmental entities. They are allocated frequencies exclusively for their use. Commercial Private Land Mobile systems are available for businesses in the Business, Industrial, and Land Transportation sectors. Most frequencies are shared with other users. Land mobile radio systems use channels in the VHF or UHF bands, since the antennas used ...

Asia-Pacific Telecommunity Band Plan
The Asia-Pacific Telecommunity, Asia-Pacific Telecommunity (APT) Bandplan, band plan is a type of segmentation of the 612–806 MHz band (usually referred to as the 600 MHz & 700 MHz bands) formalized by the APT in 2022–2023 and 2008-2010 respectively and specially configured for the deployment of mobile broadband technologies (e.g. most notably LTE (telecommunication), Long Term Evolution, LTE). This segmentation exists in two variants, Duplex_(telecommunications)#Frequency-division_duplexing, FDD and Time-division duplex, TDD, that have been standardized by the 3GPP, 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) and recommended by the ITU, International Telecommunication Union (ITU) as segmentations A5 and A6, respectively. The APT band plan has been designed to enable the most efficient use of available Radio spectrum, spectrum. Therefore, this plan divides the band into contiguous blocks of frequencies that are as large as possible taking account of the need to avoid ...

FRMCS
The Future Railway Mobile Communication System (FRMCS) is an international wireless communications standard for railway communication and applications. It is designed as the successor to GSM-R (''Global System for Mobile Communications – Railway''), primarily used in the European Train Control System (ETCS). Background The GSM technology is approaching end-of-life status by 2030. Unlike the UMTS systems, which have already started to be decommissioned in the 2020s, GSM-R benefited from a significant installed base, prompting vendors to continue production until a predetermined end date. Consequently, the International Union of Railways (UIC) has decided to make a significant technological leap by adopting 5G NR mobile networks for FRMCS, bypassing the interim LTE-R proposal. This decision effectively leapfrogs two generations of mobile communication technologies. On 20 November 2020, the Electronic Communications Committee of the CEPT allocated the paired frequency bands 87 ...

GSM-R
GSM-R, Global System for Mobile Communications – Railway or GSM-Railway is an international wireless communications standard for railway communication and applications. A sub-system of European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS), it is used for communication between train and railway regulation control centers. The system is based on GSM and ''EIRENE – MORANE'' specifications which guarantee performance at speeds up to 500 km/h (310 mph), without any communication loss. GSM-R could be supplanted by LTE-R, with the first production implementation being in South Korea. However, LTE (telecommunication), LTE is generally considered to be a "4G" protocol, and the International Union of Railways, UIC's Future Railway Mobile Communication System (FRMCS) program is considering moving to something "5G"-based (specifically 3GPP R15/16, i.e. 5G NR), thus skipping two technological generations. History GSM-R is built on GSM technology, and benefits from the economie ...
