Frequency Bands

GSM

Name Interface Description
1800 MHz (DCS) GSM

Yoigo Spain uses the GSM 1800 MHz (DCS) band. This band was deployed in 2011.

UMTS

Name Interface Description
B1 (2100 MHz) UMTS

Yoigo Spain uses the UMTS B1 (2100 MHz) frequency band. This band was deployed in 2011.

LTE

Name Interface Description
B3 (1800 MHz +) LTE

Yoigo Spain uses LTE Band 3 (1800 MHz +) for its LTE deployments. This frequency band is particularly popular in Europe, APAC, MEA, and selected countries in South America, facilitating international roaming for mobile broadband services. 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.
B1 (2100 MHz) LTE

Yoigo Spain uses the LTE B1 (2100 MHz) frequency band. This band was deployed in 2013.
B28 (700 MHz APT) LTE

Yoigo Spain uses LTE Band 28, also known as the 700 MHz APT band, for its 4G LTE network. This band operates between 703 MHz and 803 MHz, supporting channel bandwidths of 5, 10, 15, and 20 MHz. The band is used for both uplink and downlink transmissions, with the uplink ranging from 703–748 MHz and the downlink ranging from 758–803 MHz. The duplex spacing is 55 MHz. This band is known for its excellent propagation characteristics, allowing signals to penetrate buildings and cover larger geographic areas with less infrastructure. Yoigo Spain deployed LTE Band 28 in August 2024.
B38 (TD 2600 MHz) LTE

Yoigo Spain uses LTE band B38 (TD 2600 MHz). It was deployed on August 4, 2024.
B1 (2100 MHz) LTE

Yoigo Spain uses the LTE B1 (2100 MHz) frequency band. It was deployed on August 4, 2024.
B28 (700 MHz APT) LTE

Yoigo Spain uses LTE Band 28 (700 MHz APT) for its 4G LTE network. This band operates between 703 MHz and 803 MHz, with a full-duplex frequency division duplex (FDD) mode. The uplink frequency range is 703–748 MHz, and the downlink frequency range is 758–803 MHz. This band is known for its excellent propagation characteristics, allowing signals to penetrate buildings and cover larger geographic areas with less infrastructure.
B38 (TD 2600 MHz) LTE

Yoigo Spain uses the LTE frequency band B38 (TD 2600 MHz). The deployment of this band was added to Yoigo Spain on August 4, 2024.

5G NR

Name Interface Description
N1 (2100 MHz) 5G NR

Yoigo Spain uses the 5G NR frequency band n1, which covers the 2100 MHz range. This band is used for both uplink and downlink operations, with the uplink spanning from 1920 to 1980 MHz and the downlink spanning from 2110 to 2170 MHz. The band supports channel bandwidths of 5, 10, 15, and 20 MHz. Yoigo's reliance on this band, along with 1800 MHz, has been noted for its impact on rural coverage, as it lacks meaningful coverage in these areas.
N3 (1800 MHz) 5G NR

Yoigo Spain uses the 5G NR frequency band n3, which covers the range of 1710 to 1880 MHz. This band operates in the 1800 MHz frequency range and is commonly referred to as the 1.8 GHz 5G band. The n3 band is popular due to its widespread availability and use in previous 3G and 4G networks, allowing operators to "re-farm" existing frequencies for 5G deployment. The band's excellent range and building penetration characteristics make it suitable for high-capacity throughput, and it supports channel bandwidths of 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 MHz.
N78 (3500 MHz) 5G NR

Yoigo Spain uses the 5G NR frequency band N78, which operates at 3500 MHz. This band was deployed in 2019, starting in 15 city centers.
N1 (2100 MHz) 5G NR

Yoigo Spain uses the 5G NR frequency band n1 (2100 MHz) for its network. This band covers the frequency range from 1920 to 2170 MHz. The deployment of this band by Yoigo is not specified in the available information.
N3 (1800 MHz) 5G NR

Yoigo Spain uses the 5G NR N3 frequency band, which covers the 1710 to 1880 MHz range. This band is commonly referred to as the 1.8 GHz 5G band. It is known for its excellent range and building penetration due to its propagation characteristics.
N78 (3500 MHz) 5G NR

Yoigo Spain uses the 5G NR N78 (3500 MHz) frequency band for its 5G deployments. This band is designated for Time Division Duplexing (TDD) and is widely used due to its relatively common availability and potential for high capacity throughput. The n78 band spans from 3300 MHz to 3800 MHz, supporting 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.
