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.
Read moreWhat is high-band and low-band?
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 low band 5G?
Low-band. Also known as the “coverage layer,” low-band refers to frequencies below 1 GHz used to roll out substantial 5G coverage as quickly as possible . One example is the 600 MHz spectrum deployed by T-Mobile nationwide.
Read moreHow fast is 5G low band?
Low-band 5G uses a similar frequency range to 4G cellphones, 600–900 MHz, giving download speeds a little higher than 4G: 30–250 megabits per second (Mbit/s) .

In fact, the majority of commercial 5G networks rely on the mid-band – 3.3-3.8GHz range as the lower cellular spectrum is already widely in use by 3G and 4G networks. The band n78 at 3.5GHz falls under the ambit of the bands that are expected to be made available in India upon the 5G rollout.
Read moreWhich 5G band is the fastest?
Millimeter wave is the “best” 5G. If you download a 4GB file, like a movie, you might be able to do that in about 5 minutes and 19 seconds on today’s fastest 4G LTE networks (assuming a 100Mbps connection).
Read moreWhat is the band of spectrum called in 5G?
The frequency bands for 5G networks come in two sets. Frequency range 1 (FR1) is from 450 MHz to 6 GHz, which includes the LTE frequency range. Frequency range 2 (FR2) is from 24.25 GHz to 52.6 GHz. The sub-6 GHz range is the name for FR1 and the mmWave spectrum is the name for FR2 .
