It is widely used for 5G deployments due to its relatively common availability and potential for high capacity throughput. The n78 band supports channel bandwidths ranging from 10 MHz to 100 MHz. Advanced technologies like massive MIMO, beam-forming, and beam-tracking help mitigate the limited range and building penetration issues associated with higher frequencies. This band is particularly popular for its ability to support large channel widths, making it suitable for delivering high-capacity 5G services. Monaco Telecom has been using this band since 9 July 2019, when Monaco became the first country to achieve full operational 5G coverage.
