LTE B38 (TD 2600 MHz)
LTE B38, also known as TD 2600 MHz, operates within the frequency range of 2570 to 2620 MHz. This band is commonly used for 4G LTE networks and is also designated for 5G NR (New Radio) in the same frequency range. The band supports channel bandwidths of 5, 10, 15, and 20 MHz, and its coverage area is approximately 86.90 kmĀ² at -100 dBm.
The popularity of this band stems from the refarming of 2.5 GHz WiMAX services to LTE. It is used in various configurations, including carrier aggregation with other bands, to enhance network capacity and coverage. The band is particularly useful for urban areas due to its high frequency, which allows for higher data throughput and better building penetration.
