Straight answers about 5G routers.

Office broadband, failover, CCTV, telemetry, remote sites and everything in between. Practical guides to the routers, antennas, SIMs and UK networks, written for the people who have to make it work.

Where UK mobile broadband sits in the spectrum A frequency scale from 600 MHz to 4 GHz. Low bands at 700, 800 and 900 MHz give reach. Mid bands at 1800, 2100 and 2600 MHz carry most 4G. The n78 band from 3.4 to 3.8 GHz carries most UK 5G capacity. Main 5G bands Bands mostly used for 4G 700 800 900 1800 2100 2600 n78 600 MHz 1 GHz 2 GHz 3 GHz 4 GHz Low band: reach and getting through walls Mid band: capacity and speed
Where UK mobile broadband actually lives. Most 5G capacity sits in n78 at 3.4 to 3.8 GHz, which is fast but short-ranged. Operators also run 5G inside some older bands, which is one reason a router can show 5G and still feel like 4G.
