3G FDD Operating Band Frequencies


FDD reference frequencies for Operating Band 1
UL 1922.6 MHz - 1977.4 MHz
DL 2112.6 MHz - 2167.4 MHz
This is also known as WCDMA 2100 and is used mostly in Europe and Asia. Core band for region 1 with many deployments

FDD reference frequencies for Operating Band 2
UL 1852.6 MHz - 1907.4 MHz
DL 1932.6 MHz - 1987.4 MHz
This is known as WCDMA 1900 and is used mainly in North America. Alternative to core band, which is not available in region 1. Existing GSM deployments use 850 or 1900. Service providers are seeking agreement torefarm this spectrum

FDD reference frequencies for Operating Band 3
UL 1 712.6 MHz - 1 782.4 MHz
DL 1 807.6 MHz - 1 877.4 MHz
This band has got Interest from regions 2 and 3, especially for the refarming of existing GSM spectrum

FDD reference frequencies for Operating Band 4
UL 1712.6 MHz - 1752.4 MHz
DL 2112.6 MHz - 2152.4 MHz
Paired bands are of interest in region 2 and Japan. This is being used by T-Mobile in USA

FDD reference frequencies for Operating Band 5
UL 826.6 MHz - 846.4 MHz
DL 871.6 MHz - 891.4 MHz
Used in North America and Australia. Alternative to core band, which is not available in region 2. Existing GSM deployments use 850 or 1900. Service providers are seeking agreement to refarm this spectrum

FDD reference frequencies for Operating Band 6
UL 832.5 MHz - 837.5 MHz
DL 877.5 MHz - 882.5 MHz
Used in Region 3, Japan

FDD reference frequencies for Operating Band 7
UL 2502.6 MHz - 2567.4 MHz
DL 2622.6 MHz - 2687.4 MHz
Designated by the ITU as the global expansion band, so far with limited interest for UMTS/HSxPA, although WiMAX lobbying for access

FDD reference frequencies for Operating Band 8
UL 882.6 MHz - 912.4 MHz
DL 927.6 MHz - 957.4 MHz
Interest from all regions, especially for the refarming of existing GSM spectrum

FDD reference frequencies for Operating Band 9
UL 1752.4 MHz - 1782.4 MHz
DL 1847.4 MHz - 1877.4 MHz
Region 1, USA and Japan

FDD reference frequencies for Operating Band 10
