700 / 1800 MHz Frequency Combination (Band 28 & Band 3 / n28 & n3)
The 700 MHz and 1800 MHz frequency bands are two of the most valued spectrum blocks for providing 4G LTE and 5G mobile services in many countries including the UAE. The combination of the 700 MHz and 1800 MHz frequency blocks provides wide coverage with speed performance to deliver a strong signal which creates the best conditions to deploy a signal booster and a network infrastructure.
700 MHz (Band 28 / n28)
Type: Low-Band Frequency
Use: Wide area coverage, deep indoor penetration
Used for:
4G LTE(Band 28)
5G NR Low-Band (n28)
Benefits:
Excellent in rural spaces or low-signal areas
Passes through walls and buildings very strong
Stable, reliable coverage
1800 MHz (Band 3 / n3)
Type: Mid-Band Frequency
Use: Balanced speed and coverage
Used for:
4G LTE (Band 3)
5G NR Mid-Band (n3)
Benefits:
Faster data speeds than low-band
The most used frequency block by urban and suburban networks
Strongest capacity for multiple users and applications simultaneously
Why the Combination These Frequency Blocks Matter
700/1800 MHz together creates the best combining of reach with speed.
In the UAE, Etisalat and Du (along with their rebranding Virgin Mobile) both use these bands for broad usage of their 4G and 5G network.
The 700/1800 combination is perfect for signal boosters looking to enhance personal mobile connectivity for homes, offices, and commercial spaces.
