Note: LTE Option in mobiles settings generally refers to 4G connections.
Knowing More About 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 cellular phone communications.
Band Meaning:
The band is an interval in the frequency domain, delimited by a lower and upper values of transmission capacity over network communication systems. However, in general we are using bandwidth word to refer to the capacity of a network.
