Sub-6GHz 5G is essential for blanket coverage and bandwidth, while mmWave offers higher speeds over shorter distances . As such, mmWave deployments are limited to short distances, such as a few streets, and areas that benefit most from extreme high bandwidth, such as stadiums and city centers.

For example, T-Mobile owns the licenses to most of band 71 (600 MHz). This low-band sub- 6, which refers to frequencies below 6 GHz, performs well over long distances and in rural areas. … Mobile carriers use a combination of high-band, mid-band, and low-band spectrum to deliver widespread coverage.
Read moreDoes TMO have mmWave?
T-Mobile is using mmWave spectrum in the 39 GHz band . T-Mobile brands its mid-band and millimeter wave flavors of 5G as ‘Ultra Capacity’ versus the “Extended Range” 600 MHz deployments used for broader nationwide 5G coverage.
Read moreDoes T-Mobile use mmWave 5G?
T-Mobile will continue building out 5G in millimeter wave (mmWave) , where it makes sense, like dense urban areas. Millimeter wave delivers massive capacity, but only over a very small footprint.
