Telecom sector expert Rohan Dhamija attributes 700 MHz to its superior indoor and outdoor coverage as the main reason for its popularity. Because of its low frequency band, its signals can penetrate anywhere inside buildings. That means its indoor coverage is excellent. Hence 700 MHz band is considered suitable for densely populated areas and heavy data usage areas.Another reason is that its outdoor range is long. A single tower in the 700 MHz band provides a range of up to 10 km. Because of its long range, operators can install fewer towers, reducing operating costs. So, though expensive, this band is suitable for affordable 5G services.
