Missing Band 9?

https://halberdbastion.com/technology/cellular/4g-lte/lte-frequency-bands/b9-1800-mhz — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.220.152.154 (talk) 04:50, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This band was a subset of band 3 derived from the former UMTS specification. Never deployed, it is now obsolete and as been replaced by band 3. Nightwalker-87 (talk) 12:25, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Band 17 is legacy

I don't know what's happening in other regions but band 17 is legacy in the US. T-Mobile never broadcast band 17 frequency indicator. For example Bismark, ND for C block T-Mobile uses EARFCN 5145 which is in band 12.

No new carrier aggregation combinations with band 17 has been added to 36.101 for a long time. For example there is no B17+B30 while there is B12+B30. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sbsail (talk • contribs) 09:57, 20 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thx for correcting the table. I also share this idea, but I won't declare B17 as being "legacy" yet, as long as it is not removed from the E-UTRA band list by 3GPP within the technical specification. So far it is only no longer being deployed. Nightwalker-87 (talk) 13:56, 20 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure if 3GPP ever removes bands from the list. Band 10 I believe was never deployed and never will be deployed yet it is still in the list. I think a better indicator would be phones not sold by carriers dropping support for band 17. Currently I don't know a single phone designed for open market sales in North America that doesn't support band 17. Sbsail (talk) 04:36, 31 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Well they declared band 6 (in favour of band 19) and band 23 as "not applicable" in the list. The respective note for the latter appeared just recently after FCC reallocated AWS-4 spectrum from band 23 to the new band 70. This should be an indicator that they do so.

Unlicensed LTE

T-Mobile already started operations using LTE-U (is.gd/xWjiq0) and other carriers around the world have at least started trials using either LTE-U or LTE-LAA. The Samsung S8 and possibly other phones already support LTE in the U-NII bands. Shouldn't such bands figure in this page and in related ones again? 3bahapo (talk) 15:56, 14 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. I'm aware of this, but would not suggest to do so. LTE-U is rather a technology than a stand alone deployment, as it is always bundled with a licensed E-UTRA-band. Note also that this information you mention is already covered by List of LTE networks and it's subsidiary network lists. Further it is very difficult to find out which exact E-UTRA band number (252, 255, 46) is used for LTE-U by individual operators. So far I have not seen anything alike. Listing only "LTE-U is deployed" is not precise enough for this list from my point of view. Nightwalker-87 (talk) 18:22, 14 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Now that LTE-U has folded and ceded to LAA, does it make sense to list the defunct bands 252 and 255? Ebahapo (talk) 04:41, 29 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

EU L Bands

Should band 32 be noted as a subset of both bands 50 and 75? The SDL FDD bands 32 and 75 indeed share spectrum, with the latter encompassing the former. However, how can the TDD band 50 be a superset of the same SDL FDD band 32? Can MFBI work in this scenario? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ebahapo (talk • contribs) 20:42, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Correct. Both should not be mixed (especially as long as the state of MFBI is unclear in this case). Nightwalker-87 (talk) 11:48, 30 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

LTE question.

If I have a device above 700 MHz (band 17).. Would LTE still work as usual? Ajax-x86 (talk) 06:36, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Edit:Digicel says 700mhz (band17) but my smart phone is above 700 ie. 850. Ajax-x86 (talk) 06:42, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
