C-Band is the
original frequency allocation for
communications satellites.
C-Band uses 3.7-4.2GHz for downlink and
5.925-6.425Ghz for uplink.
The lower frequencies used by C-Band perform
better under adverse weather conditions than
the Ku-band or Ka-band frequencies.

Variants
Slight
variations of C-Band frequencies are
approved for use in various parts of
the world.
