Public Q&A

Why is Band 28 commonly important for regional, indoor and fringe-coverage deployments in Australia?

Australian Carrier Bands and Compatibility · 2026-06-19

Band 28 operates around 700 MHz, a relatively low cellular frequency. Lower-frequency signals generally travel further and penetrate buildings and vegetation better than higher-frequency layers, which is why Band 28 can be valuable in regional, indoor and fringe areas.

It does not overcome all terrain or building problems, and the carrier must provide Band 28 at the local tower. Antenna coverage, cable loss and network congestion still matter. A router intended for Australian remote work should normally be checked for Band 28 support along with the other bands used by the selected carrier.
