Frequency bands for 5G New Radio (5G NR), which is the air interface or radio access technology of the 5G mobile networks, are separated into two different frequency ranges.
First there is Frequency Range 1 (FR1),[1] 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.
In November and December 2023, a third band, Frequency Range 3 (FR3),[3] covering frequencies from 7.125 GHz to 24.25 GHz, was proposed by the World Radio Conference; as of September 2024, this band has not been added to the official standard.
18) of the respective 3GPP technical standard (TS 38.101),[5] the following tables list the specified frequency bands and the channel bandwidths of the 5G NR standard.
Note that the NR bands are defined with prefix of "n".
