n2 – 5G NR Frequency Band – 1900MHz FDD

n2: Introducing 5G NR Frequency Band

CableFree 5G NR Radio Band n2

n2 is a frequency band designated by the 5G NR standard. Note that in 5G, the NR bands are defined with prefix of “n”. When the NR band is overlapping with the 4G LTE band, they share the same band number.

5G Band Name

Uplink (MHz)

1850 to 1910 MHz

Downlink (MHz)

1930 to 1990 MHz

UL NR-ARFCN

370000 to 382000

DL NR-ARFCN

386000 to 398000

Duplex Spacing

80 MHz

Supported Channel Bandwidths

5 10 15 20 MHz

Summary:

In many countries, n2 (1900MHz), or commonly referred to as the 1.9 GHz PCS 5G band, is a commonly tested and deployed 5G frequency. The n2 band’s popularity is due to its relatively common availability, already widely in use by 3G and 4G networks. Operators may “re-farm” existing 3G networks on these frequencies to re-purpose for 5G networks.

Key performance objectives of the 5G NR standard require large blocks of contiguous spectrum to operate large channel widths and hence offer users high capacity throughput. With spectrum a valuable resource, operators have to implement 5G NR on higher cellular bands.

n2 Coverage

n2 coverage is excellent in range and building penetration due to the propagation characteristics of these frequencies used, and improved by advanced processing techniques.
