Millimeter waves — often referred to as mmWaves or high-band 5G — are frequencies starting at 24 GHz and beyond . As radio waves increase in frequency, each wave narrows in length. Because of its high frequencies, mmWave has a limited range of only 300 to 500 feet and struggles to penetrate buildings.
Read moreIs 5G low or high frequency?
For wide service, 5G networks operate on up to three frequency bands – low, medium, and high . 5G can be implemented in low-band, mid-band or high-band millimeter-wave 24 GHz up to 54 GHz.

Spectrum determines 5G speed and coverage High-band spectrum may give you blazing fast speeds and lots of capacity —but only if you are close to the cell site. Low-band may provide excellent coverage but the network performance may only be a small step up from 4G.
Read moreWhat is high band?
High-band spectrum refers to frequencies typically above 6 GHz in bands that are not used for mobile wireless service today . Thanks to significant research and development, however, we can now start to use high-band spectrum above 24 GHz, known as “millimeter wave,” for mobile broadband.
Read moreWhat is the range of high band 5G?
High-band 5G uses frequencies of 24–47 GHz , near the bottom of the millimeter wave band, although higher frequencies may be used in the future. It often achieves download speeds in the gigabit-per-second (Gbit/s) range, comparable to cable internet.

The High Low Bands Indicator, high and low bands are just wave-lines formed by shifting the triangular moving average by some specific percentage on both sides . Its nature is smooth that is the reason for this indicator is more responsive to price fluctuations.
Read moreWhich spectrum is best for 5G?
Spectrum in the 1 GHz – 6 GHz range is mid-band spectrum and it is considered ideal for 5G because it can carry plenty of data while also traveling significant distances. The GSMA describes spectrum in the 3.3 GHz to 3.8 GHz range as particularly appealing.
