Frequency Bands
GSM
| Name | Interface | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 900 MHz (E-GSM) | GSM | Si.mobile Slovenia uses the GSM 900 MHz (E-GSM) frequency band. |
| 1800 MHz (DCS) | GSM | Si.mobile Slovenia uses the GSM 1800 MHz (DCS) frequency band. This band operates within the 1.8 GHz frequency range, specifically with uplink frequencies from 1710–1785 MHz and downlink frequencies from 1805–1880 MHz. The deployment of GSM 1800 MHz (DCS) in Slovenia began in 1991 as an extension of the GSM standard. |
UMTS
| Name | Interface | Description |
|---|---|---|
| B1 (2100 MHz) | UMTS | Si.mobile Slovenia uses the UMTS B1 (2100 MHz) frequency band. The deployment date is not specified. |
| B8 (900 MHz GSM) | UMTS | Si.mobile Slovenia uses the UMTS B8 (900 MHz GSM) frequency band. This band operates in the 900 MHz range, specifically from 880 MHz to 915 MHz for uplink and from 925 MHz to 960 MHz for downlink. The deployment of UMTS B8 (900 MHz GSM) is part of Si.mobile's broader mobile network infrastructure, which supports both GSM and UMTS technologies. |
LTE
| Name | Interface | Description |
|---|---|---|
| B3 (1800 MHz +) | LTE | Si.mobile Slovenia uses LTE B3 (1800 MHz +) for its LTE network. The deployment of this frequency band is not specified. |
| B7 (2600 MHz) | LTE | Si.mobile Slovenia uses LTE frequency band B7 (2600 MHz). The deployment date is not specified. |
| B20 (800 MHz DD) | LTE | Si.mobile Slovenia uses the LTE B20 (800 MHz DD) frequency band for its LTE network deployments. This band is particularly known for its wide area coverage and deep penetration, making it suitable for regional and rural environments, as well as in-building coverage. It is also popular for IoT applications like eMTC (LTE Cat M1) and NB-IoT (LTE Cat NB1) due to its wide coverage characteristics. The 800 MHz band does not easily support Massive MIMO and beamforming technologies due to its large wavelength. It can be used as a single band or as part of a multi-band network, and it supports carrier aggregation with other bands to enhance bandwidth and performance. |
