AT&T created the label to show that those phones connect to what AT&T calls “5G Evolution” technologies. 5G Evolution means that those phones can connect to towers with features like three-way carrier aggregation, 4 x 4 MIMO antenna setups, and 256-QAM modulation.
Read moreHow fast can 5G go?
5G can be significantly faster than 4G, delivering up to 20 Gigabits-per-second (Gbps) peak data rates and 100+ Megabits-per-second (Mbps) average data rates .
Read moreWhy is 5G a revolution?
As 5G continues to expand, people are going to feel the impact of the 5G revolution. Designed to have faster speeds, larger capacity and reduced latency , 5G is expected to be the key for innovation in tomorrow’s future. In particular, increased speeds can open new opportunities in public safety and business.
Read moreWhat happens when 5G is activated?
5G will bring wider bandwidths by expanding the usage of spectrum resources , from sub-3 GHz used in 4G to 100 GHz and beyond. 5G can operate in both lower bands (e.g., sub-6 GHz) as well as mmWave (e.g., 24 GHz and up), which will bring extreme capacity, multi-Gbps throughput, and low latency.

The regular “5G,” meanwhile, is real 5G but only on the low-band flavors. AT&T uses “5G Plus” for its millimeter-wave and C-band 5G networks. Verizon calls its millimeter-wave and C-band 5G networks “5G Ultra Wideband,” “5G UW” or “5G UWB” (the exact icon will vary based on your device).
Read moreIs 5G a revolution or evolution?
The physical layer changes might be least revolutionary. “5G is just another evolution of the ecosystem , using a wider range of frequencies, more fiber, bringing new entrants into the space, and expanding the ecosystem,” said John Ghirardelli, American Tower Corporation director.
