LTE B12 (700 MHz ac)
LTE Band 12 (700 MHz ac) is a frequency band used for 4G Long-Term Evolution (LTE) networks. Here is a summary of its key characteristics:
- Frequency Range: The band operates on the 700 MHz frequency range, specifically from 698 to 716 MHz for the uplink and from 728 to 746 MHz for the downlink.
- Bandwidth: The band has a bandwidth of 18 MHz.
- Duplex Spacing: The duplex spacing is 30 MHz.
- Coverage Area: The coverage area is approximately 173.40 square kilometers at a signal strength of -100 dBm.
- Configuration: It supports various carrier aggregation configurations, including intra-band and inter-band combinations with other bands like B2 (1900 MHz) and B4 (1700 MHz).
This band is widely used in the United States and other countries for providing mobile broadband services due to its excellent propagation characteristics, which allow signals to penetrate buildings and cover larger geographic areas with less infrastructure.
