The C-band (or midband) is considered the "waterfront property" of RF spectrum for 5G. It offers the best compromise between RF coverage and RF bandwidth and Providers are investing heavily on C-band 5G deployment to deliver the coverage and capacity that 5G use cases need.
While C-band is the best RF spectrum for 5G deployments, Providers will need new levels of effort on planning, deployment, and maintenance including:
Deploying and maintaining 5G’s complex technology and network architecture in the C-band will not be a trivial exercise. Time-to-market and network quality will depend on the rigor of test and measurement during the complete life cycle of the network.
