UMTS frequency bands

UMTS frequency bands or frequency ranges are the radio spectrum frequencies designated for the operation of the UMTS / HSDPA / HSUPA / HSPA+ system for mobile phones.

UMTS-FDD

UMTS-FDD is designed to operate in the following paired bands:

Operating Band	Frequency Band	UL Frequencies UE transmit (MHz)	DL Frequencies UE receive (MHz)	Channel Number (UARFCN) UL	Channel Number (UARFCN) DL
I	2100	1920 - 1980	2110 - 2170	9612 - 9888	10562 - 10838
II	1900	1850 - 1910	1930 - 1990	9262 - 9538	9662 - 9938
III	1800	1710 - 1785	1805 - 1880	937 - 1288	1162 - 1513
IV	1700	1710 - 1755	2110 - 2155	1312 - 1513	1537 - 1738
V	850	824 - 849	869 - 894	4132 - 4233	4357 - 4458

X	1700	1710 - 1770	2110 - 2170	2887 - 3163	3112 - 3388
XI	1500	1427.9 - 1452.9	1475.9 - 1500.9	3487 - 3587	3712 - 3812

Deployment in other frequency bands is not precluded.

UMTS-TDD is designed to operate in the following bands:

Deployment in existing or other frequency bands is not precluded.

Band I (W-CDMA 2100) in Europe and Asia (Brazilian mobile carriers will deploy W-CDMA 2100 as well)
Band IV (W-CDMA 1700) in America (e.g. T-Mobile)
Band V (W-CDMA 850) in Australia (Telstra NextG) and Brazil (Telemig Celular and Claro)
Band VIII (W-CDMA 900) in Europe (e.g. Elisa Oyj)
1900 / 850 (independently, for both the uplink and downlink) for America (e.g. AT&T Mobility)
