Band 5 is at Frequency bands 824-849 MHz and 869-894 MHz, it’s FDD LTE band 5 and bandwideth at 25 MHz. It’s the refarming of GSM 850MHz and most commonly deployed in North America and Latin America areas.
The 850MHz frequency provides a number of advantages for our customers. Because of the lower frequency (compared to other frequencies used on the Vodafone network), 850MHz is able to better penetrate through obstacles – such as buildings. This improved signal strength means data can be transmitted to a compatible device faster than when there is poor signal strength.
