* 3G connections: 900 MHz and 2100 MHz (band 1 and 39).
* 4G connections: 800 MHz (band 20), 1800 MHz and 2600 MHz (band 7 and 38).
* 5G connections: 700 MHz (band 28) and 3500 MHz (band 78).
Note: LTE Option in mobiles settings generally refers to 4G connections.
Understanding MHz:
MHz (Megahertz) is a unit of frequency equal to one million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including mobile phone communications.
What is Band?
The band is an interval in the frequency domain, defined by a lower and upper values of transmission capacity over network communication systems. However, in general we are using bandwidth term to refer to the capacity of a network.
