Band n1

Technical Explanation

Band n1 is a prime mid-band FDD spectrum allocation formerly used for 3G UMTS and 4G LTE. Deployed across Europe, Asia, and Latin America, operators use n1 for 5G NR deployment with 15 kHz or 30 kHz SCS, frequently utilizing Dynamic Spectrum Sharing (DSS) to coexist with LTE.

Key Functions

• Operating frequency: 1920-1980 MHz UL, 2110-2170 MHz DL
• FDD duplex mode with 100 MHz duplex spacing
• Widely deployed for DSS and international 5G roaming
