Hi Friends.
For LTE I have one doubt: out of Band 7, band 20 which will have more coverage?

Band 20 should have. It’s 800 versus 2600.

Lower frequency, higher coverage.
So band 20.

Yes, it is inversely proprtional to lambda.

Ok, thanks. Actually I mixed with band 7 and band 20 number.
So I think band 7 having more coverage :grin:

There are many mobiles supporting 2600 in general like lot of operators use.
But I heard 2600 band users are less.
FDD 2600 where it is used.
Which country has this band?
French Guiana this area uses this.

Out of Band 7 and Band 20, Band 20 will have more coverage. This is because Band 20 operates at a lower frequency (800 MHz) compared to Band 7 (2600 MHz). Lower frequencies travel longer distances and penetrate buildings better than higher frequencies.

Here’s a breakdown:

  • Band 20 (800 MHz): Better coverage, especially in rural areas and inside buildings. However, it may offer slightly slower data speeds compared to Band 7.
  • Band 7 (2600 MHz): Faster data speeds, but with shorter range and weaker penetration through walls and buildings. This band is typically better suited for dense urban areas.

It’s important to note that the specific coverage for each band will vary depending on your location and your carrier’s network infrastructure.
