What is C-band and what does it mean for the future of 5G?
For 5G to
deliver a better experience than 4G, it needs a wide, dedicated channel,
preferably 50 MHz or more. That's where C-band comes in: the frequency that can
save 5G in the United States.
He came. You
see. The planes did not fall from the sky. AT&T and Verizon recently
rolled out their C-band 5G networks after months of wrangling with airlines and
the FAA. In logging, so far, we have not seen any major aviation problems or
threats to aviation safety. After two years of AT&T and Verizon's
"national 5G" network looking like 4G, C-band may finally increase
speed. But what is C-band and what does it mean for 5G? Do you need a C-band
phone? Is C-band the new frequency? Should we fear group C? We can explain.

According to
the radio research company Rohde and Schwarz, C-band covers all frequencies
between 4 and 8 GHz. However, when American wireless geeks talk about C-band,
they're talking about 3.7 to 4.2 GHz - and more, in this case, the 3.7 to 3.98
GHz range.
There is also
another range of radio waves involved, from 3.45 to 3.55 GHz. No one really
decided what to call them: they were "3.45", "DoD" (the
military used them), or even "Andromeda". But they have a lot to do
with the C.-band spectrum, so we include them in this description.
Our first
test of Verizon's c band shows a range of about 0.37 miles in populated Queens,
New York. However, this shows that it is not the strength of the wireless
network, but from the fact that Verizon does not want its cell sites to interfere
with each other. So running half a mile across a large part of the country is
always good.
