TAB85 Pro 5G tablet
5G Connectivity in the U.S.
The TAB85 Pro 5G Tablet supports a range of 5G-NR bands optimized for the U.S. market, ensuring compatibility with major carriers:
1. Low-Band Frequencies (<1 GHz)
- N5 (850 MHz): Widely used by AT&T and Verizon for rural coverage and fallback for mid-band networks.
- N12 (700 MHz): Supports T-Mobile’s “Extended Range 5G,” ensuring nationwide coverage.
- N71 (600 MHz): A cornerstone of T-Mobile’s network for expansive rural coverage and strong indoor penetration.
2. Mid-Band Frequencies (1–6 GHz)
- N2 (1900 MHz): Provides broad deployment in urban and suburban areas (AT&T, T-Mobile).
- N25 (1900 MHz): Boosts T-Mobile’s network, leveraging Sprint’s legacy infrastructure.
- N30 (2300 MHz): Used by AT&T for capacity enhancements in urban areas.
- N38 (2600 MHz): Utilized by T-Mobile in former Sprint markets for dense urban capacity.
- N41 (2500 MHz): A critical band for T-Mobile, offering high-speed 5G in urban and suburban settings.
- N48 (3600 MHz, CBRS): Enables localized, high-capacity deployments for Verizon and AT&T, such as private networks and small cells.
- N66 (AWS-3, 1700/2100 MHz): Provides additional capacity and coverage across urban and suburban markets.
3. C-Band and Upper Mid-Band Frequencies (3.3–4.2 GHz)
- N77 (3300–4200 MHz): Known as the C-band, this is a key spectrum for all major U.S. carriers, providing excellent speed and coverage balance.
- N78 (3300–3800 MHz): A subset of the C-band spectrum, delivering high speeds and capacity, particularly in urban and suburban areas.
Carrier-Specific Focus in the U.S.
- T-Mobile: Leverages N12, N25, N41, N71, and N77/N78 to provide both extensive nationwide coverage and high-capacity urban 5G services.
- AT&T: Combines N5, N30, N48, and N77/N78 to balance rural coverage with high-speed urban networks.
- Verizon: Utilizes N5, N48, and N77/N78 to deliver ultra-fast speeds and reliable connectivity, particularly in urban and suburban regions.
