5G mid-band spectrum provides coverage and capacity Spectrum in the 1 GHz – 6 GHz range is mid-band spectrum and it is considered ideal for 5G because it can carry plenty of data while also traveling significant distances. The GSMA describes spectrum in the 3.3 GHz to 3.8 GHz range as particularly appealing.

Read moreWhat is the point of low-band 5G?
In a 5G world, low-band spectrum will make it possible for operators to provide a wide-swath of coverage but it also means that the speed and latency of the 5G network will probably only be incrementally better than what is delivered with 4G networks.
Read moreWhat is Verizon low-band 5G?
Verizon 5G Nationwide uses “low-band” spectrum, which allows 5G service to run simultaneously with 4G LTE on multiple spectrum bands . If you move outside Verizon’s Ultra Wideband coverage area, your 5G-enabled devices stay on 5G technology using the lower bands.
