| Band | Penetration (approx.) | Typical Use | Planning Note | |------|----------------------|------------|---------------| | | Highest penetration, ~ 10 dB less loss than 1800 MHz | Rural/legacy 2G | Can be used as “coverage anchor” in deep basements. | | 1800 MHz (GSM/ LTE‑Band 3) | Moderate loss | 2G/4G | Balance between coverage and capacity. | | 2100 MHz (UMTS/ LTE‑Band 1) | Higher loss, more susceptible to walls | 3G/4G | Requires tighter cell spacing or additional antennas. | | 2600 MHz (LTE‑Band 7) | Highest loss, good for capacity | 4G | Ideal for high‑traffic zones (e.g., food‑court). | | 3500 MHz (LTE‑Band 42/43) | Very high loss, short range | Future 5G (not covered in 3rd ed.) | Needs dense small‑cell grid. | | | 2100 MHz (UMTS/ LTE‑Band 1) |
