Frequency bands for 5G NR are being separated into two different frequency ranges. First there is Frequency Range 1 (FR1)[1]
that includes sub-6GHz frequency bands, some of which are bands traditionally used by previous standards, but has been
extended to cover potential new spectrum offerings from 410 MHz to 7125 MHz. The other is Frequency Range 2 (FR2)[2] that
includes frequency bands from 24.25 GHz to 52.6 GHz. Bands in this millimeter wave range have shorter range but higher
available bandwidth than bands in the FR1.[3]

Note that the NR bands are defined with prefix of "n". When the NR band is overlapping with the legacy 4G LTE band, they
share the same band number.
