UMTS Frequency Bands

UMTS frequency bands are spectrum allocations dedicated to use for 3G Universal Mobile Telecommunications System networks. Bands are harmonised internationally via the 3GPP 25.101 standard.

The below table lists Frequency Division Duplex UMTS bands, compiled from 3GPP 25.101 (Rel 99, May 1999)
