Frequency Bands

GSM

Name Interface Description
900 MHz (E-GSM) GSM

O Kyrgyzstan uses the GSM 900 MHz (E-GSM) frequency band.
1800 MHz (DCS) GSM

O Kyrgyzstan uses the GSM 1800 MHz (DCS) frequency band. This band is primarily used for mobile communication services and is known as Digital Cellular System (DCS) in some regions. The deployment of GSM 1800 in Kyrgyzstan is part of the country's mobile network infrastructure, which supports various mobile internet packages and call services.

UMTS

Name Interface Description
B1 (2100 MHz) UMTS

O Kyrgyzstan uses the UMTS B1 (2100 MHz) frequency band. This band is widely used for 3G services and is supported by various networks. It was allocated by delegates to the World Administrative Radio Conference (WARC-92) held in Málaga-Torremolinos, Spain between 3 February 1992 and 3 March 1992. The band is intended for use by administrations wishing to implement International Mobile Telecommunications 2000 (IMT-2000) and is used for various services including mobile telecommunications.
B8 (900 MHz GSM) UMTS

O Kyrgyzstan uses the UMTS band B8 (900 MHz GSM). This frequency band is deployed for UMTS operations.

LTE

Name Interface Description
B7 (2600 MHz) LTE

O Kyrgyzstan uses LTE Band 7 (2600 MHz). This frequency band is utilized for LTE operations. The deployment date for this band is not specified.
