T-Mobile Austria uses LTE Band 3 (1800 MHz +) for its mobile network. This frequency band is widely used globally and supports both FDD (Frequency Division Duplex) and TDD (Time Division Duplex) configurations. It is particularly popular in Europe, APAC, MEA, and selected countries in South America, facilitating international roaming for mobile broadband services. The band is utilized by over 46% of all LTE or LTE-Advanced network operators worldwide, with 327 networks using this band as of January 2019.
B7 (2600 MHz) LTE

T-Mobile Austria uses LTE frequency band B7 (2600 MHz). This band is utilized for LTE services.
B1 (2100 MHz) LTE

T-Mobile Austria uses LTE band B1 (2100 MHz). This frequency band was added to T-Mobile Austria on August 5, 2024.
B20 (800 MHz DD) LTE

T-Mobile Austria uses LTE band B20 (800 MHz DD). The deployment of this band was on August 5, 2024.
B28 (700 MHz APT) LTE

T-Mobile Austria uses LTE Band 28 (700 MHz APT) for its LTE network deployments. This band operates within the 700 MHz spectrum and is known for its excellent propagation characteristics, allowing signals to penetrate buildings and cover larger geographic areas with less infrastructure. The band is widely used by public mobile operators for LTE network deployments and is utilized for public safety communications as well. T-Mobile Austria added this frequency band to its network on August 5, 2024.

UMTS

Name Interface Description
B8 (900 MHz GSM) UMTS

T-Mobile Austria uses the UMTS B8 (900 MHz GSM) frequency band. This band was added to T-Mobile Austria's network on August 5, 2024.

5G NR

Name Interface Description
N1 (2100 MHz) 5G NR

T-Mobile Austria uses the 5G NR frequency band N1 (2100 MHz). This band covers the frequency range from 1920 to 1980 MHz for the uplink and from 2110 to 2170 MHz for the downlink. The duplex spacing is 190 MHz, and the supported channel bandwidths include 5, 10, 15, and 20 MHz.
N28 (700 MHz) 5G NR

T-Mobile Austria uses the 5G NR frequency band N28 (700 MHz) for its 5G network. This band covers the frequency range from 703 to 803 MHz. The deployment of this band was initiated in March 2019, when T-Mobile Austria launched its 5G services.
N75 (1500 MHz) 5G NR

T-Mobile Austria uses the 5G NR frequency band N75, which operates in the 1500 MHz range. This band is used for supplementary downlink applications and supports channel bandwidths of 5, 10, 15, and 20 MHz. The coverage of this band is moderate to long due to the propagation characteristics of mid-band frequencies.
N78 (3500 MHz) 5G NR

T-Mobile Austria uses the 5G NR frequency band N78 (3500 MHz) for its 5G deployments. This band spans from 3300 MHz to 3800 MHz and supports channel bandwidths ranging from 10 MHz to 100 MHz. The n78 band is designated for Time Division Duplexing (TDD) and is widely used for 5G due to its relatively common availability and potential for high capacity throughput. Advanced technologies like massive MIMO, beam-forming, and beam-tracking help mitigate the limited range and building penetration issues associated with higher frequencies. The most popular channel width for fully deployed n78 5G networks is the maximum 100 MHz.
