in iPhone field menu you can check if your device is really in 5G SA. If mixed mode is shown then it is not 5G SA.
According to MS Copilot RedCap device can be registered on band with higher bandwidth. Requirements:
sending tower must support 3GPP Releas 17
network operator must allow it
iPhone will work in any configuration. From what I saw here, towers announce release 15.4 and then separate 20 MHz band is required. But my modem gets registered. Unfortunately I didn’t found any AT command to check 3GPP release. Network scan also doesn’t show this. If anybody knows such commands - please send me.
