LTE B41 (TD 2500 MHz)
LTE B41, also known as the TD 2500 MHz band, operates within the frequency range of 2496 to 2690 MHz. This band is designated for Time Division Duplex (TDD) technology, meaning both uplink and downlink transmissions occur on the same frequency but are time-separated. The band is commonly used for 4G LTE networks and is often referred to as the 2.5 GHz band.
Key characteristics of LTE B41 include:
- Frequency Range: 2496 to 2690 MHz.
- EARFCN: 39650 to 41589.
- Channel Bandwidths: 5, 10, 15, and 20 MHz.
- Coverage Area: Approximately 87.50 km² at -100 dBm.
- Usage: Widely used in many countries, often after refarming ageing WiMAX networks to the more efficient LTE protocol.
This band is popular due to its relatively common availability and the ability to offer high capacity throughput, making it suitable for dense urban networks.
