Fifth Generation (5G) mobile networks mark a significant shift from previous generations of networks. By introducing flexible design, 5G support highly diverse application requirements. Currently, the landscape measurement studies does not shed light on network configuration and inherent implications to performance. In this paper, we precisely fill gap report our in-depth multi-country study deployed at mid-bands. This is common playground for U.S. European carriers. Our findings reveal key aspects how carriers configure their network, including spectrum utilization, frame configuration, resource allocation implication
