n28 · 700 APT
n28 is a 3GPP 5G NR band (700 APT), FDD duplex, uplink 703–748 MHz and downlink 758–803 MHz. The whole band sits below 1 GHz, so it is a coverage layer: it travels far and gets through walls, deciding rural and indoor signal. Of the 155 networks we check, 18 use it (China, Germany, France, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Italy, Netherlands, India, Spain, Thailand).12
