698-960MHz vs 3300-3800MHz 5G Antennas: Choosing the Right Band for Rural vs Urban
2026-09-15
A low band 5G antenna working between 698 and 960MHz covers the LTE B28/B20/B8 bands and their 5G NR equivalents, n28 and n20 among them. The n78 band, 3300 to 3800MHz, is where most of the world’s actual 5G traffic lives.
