What Can RF ONE Offer for 5G Applications

5G is at the heart of existing and future communications like streaming video in consumer mobile demands, connecting vehicles, building smart cities, fiber-over-the-air and much more. In comparison with previous generations, 5G supports significantly faster mobile broadband speeds and also can enable full potential of the Internet of Things.

In order to deliver widespread coverage and support a wide range of use cases, 5G spectrum is across low, mid and high bands.

➤Low-bands which is sub-1 GHz (typically 400 MHz, 600 MHz, 700 MHz) support widespread coverage, such us indoors, urban and rural areas.

➤Mid-bands offer a good mixture of coverage and capacity benefits. Majority of networks include 3.3-3.8 GHz, 4.2-4.8 GHz,  6GHz and 1500 MHz, 1800 MHz, 2100 MHz, 2300 MHz and 2600 MHz.

➤High-bands support ultra-high broadband speeds, typically bands are 26 GHz, 28 GHz, 43.5 GHz, 66 GHz, 71 GHz and may need additional new bands 92-114 GHz.


RF ONE offers a wide range of passive components and interconnection products covering low-medium-high bands for 5G applications. Please check the below links to learn more.
