Correct Answer: Option D — 1, 2 and 3
To determine the correct statements regarding 5G technology, let's analyze the characteristics of the different spectrum bands:

Statement 1 is Correct: 5G technology is designed to operate across a broad range of frequencies, categorized into three main tiers: Low-band (under 1 GHz), Mid-band (1 GHz to 6 GHz), and High-band (Millimeter wave/mmWave, above 24 GHz).

Statement 2 is Correct: The Low-band spectrum is known for its ability to travel long distances and penetrate buildings easily, providing wide coverage. However, because it has limited bandwidth, peak data speeds are typically capped around 100 Mbps, making it similar to high-end 4G LTE.

Statement 3 is Correct: While high-band is often associated with specialized industrial use due to low latency, Low-band spectrum is also used for Private Captive Networks (Non-Public Networks). This is especially true in large-scale industrial areas (like mines or massive agriculture projects) where wide-area coverage and high reliability are more critical than extreme speeds.
