In the last 2 months and a half we have heard very, too much of the talk new mobile operator Iliad, to be exact, the fourth Italian non-virtual operator who relies on the Wind / Tre networks in mode RAN Sharing (not MVNO) in order to spread its mobile network signal on the territory of the beautiful country. All this means that currently Iliad does not use its own infrastructure, which will be inactive for some time, so it is good to know that using the Wind / Tre network and therefore the LTE band of these, the 4G connectivity will depend precisely on the Wind and Tre signal distribution. The problem could therefore arise in some geographical areas, as it is known that Wind mainly uses the 20 band with 800 MHz frequency, where the signal distributed by this frequency is weak or even absent.
Personally I am a former Wind customer and I made the transition to Iliad from which I could only benefit in terms of signal quality but someone may not be able to use the Iliad operator's 4G service because some Xiaomi terminals, especially those of Chinese origin and not Global version, do not have 20 band support, generally used due to its low frequency, able to cover large distances and penetrate the interior of buildings at best, however at the expense of performancethat I am reduced due to limited bandwidth made available by the frequency of 800 MHz.
Xiaomi and Iliad: pay attention to the 20 band
Therefore it is the case of make sure if your Xiaomi or any smartphone from Asia, use 20 band support, because in case you want to use the services of the operator Iliad these could be limited, or rather you may have to resort to the small trick of switch the priority of the networks on the 3G signal able to provide sufficient performance for mobile browsing.
I have a xiaomi redmi note 3 pro Asian version with global rom without 20 band but almost always in 4g ... x for me who wrote the article is not well informed ...
Coverage in Prato and Ripoli prov. of Bo in 4g like the 10 phono with TIM.
I do not agree with this sensational title.
For 2 reasons.
The first is that the problem does not concern xiaomi, but all devices of Asian origin.
The second that does not concern Iliad, but the wind network three.
I'll stop here, even if there would be more ...
Hi, I bought a Redmi 5 plus on Amazon and I can't connect with Iliad, I also have a Huawei p8 and with that Iliad is fine? Should I return the Xiaomi and take another cell, or I would have to wait to see if it's an OS problem / thanks

Good morning I own a xiaomi redmi 4 notes and I would like to know how to check if it has the 20 band.
thank you
According to gsmarena there is the ha
Probably yes, check if you have the word "global" on the box
My smartphone 📱 is a supercinesone and doesn't have band 20. I have iliad and 4 G is a bomb even inside the home walls.
Only in London, with Vodafone UK I found the total absence of 4G ... In fact, then I made the portability to 3UK and 4G returned 😁
Tested with Redmi note 4 band 20, iliad works best in 3g in some areas. The only problem I haven't solved yet is that I can't download from the playstore with the mobile network.
and better ILIAD or HO-MOBILE?
That's why from a former seller and distributor of cinafonini I advise you not to buy them.
Few updates, dubious features and spares poco available.
I'm sorry to contradict you, but I have had xiaomi for 5 years and I must say that I have never had a problem, unlike when I had a very noble and dear samsung ... ..
