AT&T also has deployed 5G in about 20 cities using low-band spectrum in the 850 MHz band, according to FierceWireless. AT&T says its low-band 5G network provides broad coverage and the company is offering it to consumers. However, AT&T also has a high-band 5G offering, which it’s calling 5G+.
Read moreHow much faster is low-band 5G?
Low-band 5G operates on some of the same frequencies as 4G, delivering slightly faster speeds—think 50–60 Mbps —over long distances. It will work best in rural areas where people are more spread out and you can provide service with a handful of cellular towers.

T-Mobile 5G : What RootMetrics found RootMetrics ran its tests in the largest 125 cities in the U.S., and found that T-Mobile had the fastest 5G download speeds in 48 markets, compared to three for Verizon and zero for AT&T.
Read moreWho has the best 5G technology in the world?
While AT&T and Verizon anxiously await their expensive C-band spectrum release, T-Mobile has the best overall 5G network thanks to its wide sub-6 at both 600MHz and 2.5GHz coverage with room to grow with mmWave and C-band spectrum in the coming years.
Read moreWhat are the limitations of 5G mmWave?
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 moreWhat are the challenges in millimeter wave communication?
These challenges can be categorized into several different groups, namely, spectrum aspects, propagation aspects, energy efficiency aspects, and cost aspects . By looking at above drivers, mm-wave communication looks a promising technology ground for further development and research in the framework of 5G networks.
