Frequency Bands
GSM
| Name | Interface | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 900 MHz (E-GSM) | GSM | Telia Sweden uses the GSM 900 MHz (E-GSM) frequency band. This band operates on the uplink frequency range of 890.0 – 915.0 MHz and the downlink frequency range of 935.0 – 960.0 MHz. The GSM 900 MHz band is widely used in most parts of the world, including Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and Oceania. |
| 1800 MHz (DCS) | GSM | Telia Sweden uses the GSM 1800 MHz (DCS) frequency band. This band operates on the uplink frequency range of 1710.0 – 1785.0 MHz and the downlink frequency range of 1805.0 – 1879.8 MHz. The GSM 1800 MHz band is widely used in most parts of the world, including Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and Oceania. |
UMTS
| Name | Interface | Description |
|---|---|---|
| B1 (2100 MHz) | UMTS | Telia Sweden uses the UMTS frequency band B1 (2100 MHz). This band operates at a frequency of 2100 MHz. |
| B8 (900 MHz GSM) | UMTS | Telia Sweden uses the UMTS B8 (900 MHz GSM) frequency band. This band operates on the uplink frequency range of 890.0 – 915.0 MHz and the downlink frequency range of 935.0 – 960.0 MHz. The GSM 900 MHz band is widely used in most parts of the world, including Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and Oceania. |
LTE
| Name | Interface | Description |
|---|---|---|
| B3 (1800 MHz +) | LTE | Telia Sweden uses LTE Band 3, operating at 1800 MHz, for its LTE deployments. This band is widely used globally and is particularly popular in Europe, APAC, MEA, and selected countries in South America. It supports both FDD (Frequency Division Duplex) and TDD (Time Division Duplex) configurations, offering a balance between network coverage and data capacity, making it suitable for dense urban areas. |
| B7 (2600 MHz) | LTE | Telia Sweden uses LTE band B7 (2600 MHz). The deployment date for this band is not specified. |
| B20 (800 MHz DD) | LTE | Telia Sweden uses LTE B20 (800 MHz DD) for its LTE network deployments. This frequency band is known for its wide area coverage and deep penetration, making it suitable for regional and rural environments, as well as in-building coverage. It supports carrier aggregation with other bands to enhance bandwidth and performance. The deployment of this band by Telia Sweden was added in 2024. |
| B28 (700 MHz APT) | LTE | Telia Sweden uses LTE Band 28 (700 MHz APT) for its mobile network. This band operates within the 700 MHz spectrum following the Asia-Pacific Telecommunity (APT) band plan. The 700 MHz LTE band offers excellent propagation characteristics and wide channel widths, ensuring wide area coverage and strong indoor penetration. It was made available for mobile services after the transition from analogue to digital television, commonly referred to as the "digital dividend." The B28 band is an LTE frequency division duplexing (FDD) band split into 703 to 748 MHz / 758 to 803 MHz, with some applications implementing it as B28A (703 to 733 MHz / 758 to 788 MHz) and B28B (718 to 748 MHz / 773-803 MHz). Each of the B28A and B28B bands is typically provided with its own duplexer due to challenges associated with bandwidth and duplex gap. The 700 MHz LTE has been a popular choice due to the availability of digital-dividend spectrum and its unmatched propagation characteristics, permitting wide area coverage in regional and rural environments, and excellent in-building coverage. |
5G NR
| Name | Interface | Description |
|---|---|---|
| N28 (700 MHz) | 5G NR | Telia Sweden uses the 5G NR frequency band n28, which covers the 703 to 803 MHz range. This band is commonly referred to as the APT 700 MHz 5G band. The initial services on this band were deployed in central Stockholm by mid-June 2020, covering areas such as the Norrmalm, Östermalm, and Vasastan districts. |
