The Role of 26 GHz Radio Frequency Band

Tele2 achieved this 5G speed record in the 26 GHz radio frequency band (mmWave) within its network. The company obtained a special permit from the Communications Regulatory Authority (RRT) for testing purposes. Tele2 says the 26 GHz frequency band will be utilized in the future for both speed and capacity. It will play a crucial role during large events, concerts, and in sports arenas or city centres where a large number of people require enhanced connectivity.

Enhancing Connectivity and Services

This frequency band will lay a strong foundation for advanced services such as virtual and augmented reality, which demand high performance. The mmWave spectrum can be employed for mobile internet in suburban areas and for industrial automation.
