5G NR frequency bands

<p>
Frequency bands for <a href="/facts/5G_New_Radio/u5fNXlXI">5G New Radio</a> (5G NR), which is the air interface or <a href="/facts/Radio_access_technology/4RqIHyFc">radio access technology</a> of the <a href="/facts/5G/yVb460m4">5G</a> mobile networks, are separated into two different frequency ranges. First there is Frequency Range 1 (FR1), which includes sub-7 GHz frequency bands, some of which are traditionally used by previous standards, but has been extended to cover potential new spectrum offerings from 410 MHz to 7125 MHz. The other is Frequency Range 2 (FR2), which includes frequency bands from 24.25 GHz to 71.0 GHz. In November and December 2023, a third band, Frequency Range 3 (FR3), covering frequencies from 7.125 GHz to 24.25 GHz, was proposed by the <a href="/facts/World_Radio_Conference/1hmP94q7">World Radio Conference</a>; as of September 2024, this band has not been added to the official standard. Frequency bands are also available for non-terrestrial networks (NTN) in both the sub-7 GHz and in the 17.3 GHz to 30 GHz ranges.
