The two main types of 5G in the US right now are low-band and high-band (also known as mm-Wave). Low-band 5G is capable of traveling very far distances (over 1000 thousand miles from cell towers). But it’s only about 20% faster than 4G LTE at between 80-100 Mbps .

Read moreWhy mmWave are preferred for 5G network?
The smaller cell sizes of 5G mmWave not only provides high throughput , but also allows for efficient use of spectrum as frequencies can be reused over relatively small distances. It is projected that outdoor cell sizes will be typically 100m to 200m and indoor high-density deployments might be as small as 10m.
Read moreWhat is the main vision of 5G?
The answer is that the vision for 5G is to not only provide better broadband with higher capacity and higher data rates at much lower cost , but also to address entirely new challenges that span far beyond, to enable new services, empower new types of user experiences, and connect new industries.
Read moreWhy is 5G so short range?
The 5G standard uses millimeter waves, which are a lot shorter than the wavelengths 4G uses . The shorter wavelength means 5G can carry a lot of data much faster than 4G, but it also means a much shorter range.
Read moreWhy does 5G not go through walls?
mmWave doesn’t penetrate walls Most building materials, such as cement and brick, attenuate and reflect very high-frequency signals with a big enough loss you’re unlikely to receive a very useful signal moving from inside to outside.18 Ağu 2021
Read moreDoes 5G go through walls?
5 GHz networks do not penetrate solid objects such as walls nearly as well as do 2.4 GHz signals . This can limit an access points reach inside buildings like homes and offices where many walls may come between a wireless antenna and the user.
