Common Data Transmission Frequencies in the U.S.

Hi there!

When choosing a signal jammer, it’s crucial to know which frequencies you want to target. Here’s a clear breakdown of the main communication bands currently used in the U.S.

Mobile Networks

850-895 MHz (GSM/CDMA – AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile)

This range covers older 2G and 3G mobile networks, often used for basic calls and text messaging. Some early tracking devices and simple bugs also operate here.

1850–1995 MHz (Personal Communications Service)

Critical in the U.S. for GSM and some LTE networks, mainly used by T-Mobile, Sprint (now T-Mobile), and AT&T.

617-652 MHz (5G Low Band – Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T)

These frequencies power much of the nationwide 5G coverage in the U.S. They offer great range and solid indoor penetration, though speeds are similar to advanced 4G.

3400-3800 MHz (5G Mid-Band - 3.7 GHz, also known as C-Band))

Newly deployed for 5G Ultra Capacity in the U.S. by Verizon and AT&T, offering a balance of speed and range.

2300-2700 MHz (LTE/4G Mid Band – T-Mobile, AT&T)

These mid-band frequencies are crucial for today's high-speed mobile internet. You'll find them in modern smartphones, hotspots, and some newer surveillance devices.

24-39 GHz (5G mmWave – Verizon, AT&T)

This is the ultra-fast, short-range 5G band that delivers fiber-like speeds in select areas. Mainly used in city centers, stadiums, and airports.

WiFi & Bluetooth

2400-2485 MHz (WiFi 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth)

This wireless standard is widely used for setting up networks without the need for cables, making it easy for mobile devices to connect. It's also common in systems that handle audio and video streaming, as well as in drone controls. Bluetooth, which operates within this range, is found in smartphones, laptops, PCs, and accessories like wireless headsets and speakers.

5150-5850 MHz (WiFi 5 GHz)

A newer Wi-Fi standard that supports speeds up to 1300 Mbps and offers better range. It's commonly used to transmit data across a wide range of devices — for example, many drones send their video feeds over these frequencies.

GPS & Navigation

1570-1620 Mhz (GPS L1/GLONASS)

The range is used in satellite navigation. Global Positioning System, which provides distance measurement and location determination in space. Used by many devices - mobile phones, GPS trackers, tracking devices, car alarms and unmanned drones.

1170-1280 MHz (GPS L2-L5|GLONASS L2)

The next generation of navigation frequencies, refining the positioning of an object. The scope of use is the same as the GPS L1 range. And also includes the frequency on which most hidden microphones and wireless cameras operate.

Radios, Drones & IoT Devices

868-915 MHz

A frequency band that's commonly used to control certain quadcopter models.

136-174 MHz (VHF Radios/LoJack)

The ultra-shortwave band that's used by certain car radios and surveillance devices.

400-470 MHz (UHF Radios)

A communication standard used in handheld radios (like walkie-talkies) and listening devices. It also covers the 433 MHz band, which is used to control certain drone models and other equipment.
