n48 · 3500 CBRS (US)
n48 is a 3GPP 5G NR band (3500 CBRS (US)), TDD duplex, uplink 3550–3700 MHz and downlink 3550–3700 MHz. It is a capacity layer: wide and fast, with shorter reach than the low bands. None of the networks we check uses it.12

Who uses it
None of the networks we check uses it.
What it means for IoT devices
- This is a TDD band: FDD-only modules cannot use it.
- None of the networks we check uses it; if your market is outside our coverage, go by the local operators’ own data.
Our dongles (MF833V, Dongle 400, F40) do not support n48.
