frequency band
Radio wave allocation
A frequency band is a designated range of frequencies within the electromagnetic spectrum, used especially in radio, telecommunications, and broadcasting.
Different bands are allocated for specific purposes—AM radio, FM radio, television, cellular networks, Wi-Fi, and satellite communications each occupy distinct frequency bands.
The new 5G network operates on a higher frequency band than previous generations.
Regulatory bodies assign and manage these bands to prevent interference between services.
