This page provides information about 5G NR frequency bands, specifically focusing on FR1 and FR2.

5G NR bands are categorized into two ranges: FR1 and FR2. The tables below detail the 5G NR bands in FR1 (supporting duplex modes like FDD, TDD, SDL, and SUL) and 5G NR bands in FR2 (supporting TDD mode).

The frequency ranges for 5G NR operation are divided into the following two designations:

  • FR1: Frequency range from 450 to 6000 MHz
  • FR2: Frequency range from 24250 to 52600 MHz

5G NR Frequency Bands in FR1 (FDD, TDD, SDL, SUL)

The following table (Table 1) lists the 5G NR frequency bands in FR1, including the duplex modes FDD, TDD, SDL, and SUL.
