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 moreWhat wavelengths do 5G use?
Verizon 5G utilizes millimeter wave technology. These millimeter waves exist on an extremely high frequency and are considered millimeter waves because the wavelengths range between 1 and 10 mm . 5G may also utilize ultra-high frequency radio waves between 300 MHz and 3 GHz.
