There are three types of 5G being built in the U.S. including low-band, mid-band and high-band mmWave 5G . It’s confusing for consumers, especially since there aren’t phones that support all three yet. AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile/Sprint all have different strategies.
Read moreIs mmWave ultra wide band?
Verizon is still rolling out millimeter wave (mmWave) in select areas, which it pitches as “5G Ultra Wideband ” to consumers.
Read moreIs 5G mmWave low or high-frequency?
These high-frequency bands are often referred to as “mmWave” due to the short wavelengths that can be measured in millimeters. Although the mmWave bands extend all the way up 300 GHz, it is the bands from 24 GHz up to 100 GHz that are expected to be used for 5G.
Read moreWhat is spectrum of mmWave?
What is mmWave spectrum? The mmWave spectrum refers to a vast range of frequencies between 24GHz and 100GHz . These short wavelength frequencies can offer high-speed wireless connections because they can carry more data and the data being transferred has less distance to travel, drastically improving latency.

These high-frequency bands are often referred to as “mmWave” due to the short wavelengths that can be measured in millimeters . Although the mmWave bands extend all the way up 300 GHz, it is the bands from 24 GHz up to 100 GHz that are expected to be used for 5G.6 May 2021
Read moreWhat is an mmWave network?
5G mmWave is a revolutionary cellular technology, providing access to massive bandwidth and capacity available in frequency bands above 24 GHz . Once deemed impossible by skeptics, 5G mmWave is now embraced by the wireless ecosystem and continues to gain momentum globally.
Read moreIs C-band low band or mid-band?
Through the C-band auction, Verizon was able in one fell swoop to more than double its holdings in the lower bands of spectrum – at 3.7 GHz, C-band is considered mid-band but lower than the high-band mmWave.
