B32 · 1500 L-Band SDL
B32 is a 3GPP LTE (4G) band (1500 L-Band SDL), SDL duplex, downlink only, 1452–1496 MHz. It is a capacity layer: wide and fast, with shorter reach than the low bands. Of the 155 networks we check, 3 use it (United Kingdom, Italy).12

What it means for IoT devices
- B32 adds capacity in United Kingdom, Italy: it raises city speeds, but coverage comes from the low bands.
- Downlink only (supplemental): it works only aggregated with another band, never on its own for uplink.
Our dongles (MF833V, Dongle 400, F40) do not support B32.
