What spectrum does 5G use?

Today, a majority of commercial 5G networks rely on spectrum in the 3.5 GHz range (3.3 GHz-4.2 GHz) . This momentum makes it vital that regulators assign as much contiguous 5G spectrum as possible in the range. However, 5G needs more mid-band spectrum to maintain quality of service and meet growing demand.

What is 5G sub6 and mmWave?

5G is offered in two distinct variants — sub-6 and mmWave. As RootMetrics explains, these are essentially codenames for different types of wireless spectrum. sub-6 refers to data below the 6Ghz spectrum , while mmWave accounts for data sent above 6Ghz.22 Haz 2021

How many 5G bands are there in 5G?

5G comes in three major bands which are Low-frequency bands, Medium range frequency bands and High range frequency bands and not all bands are equal. Low and Mid band frequencies come under the Sub-GHz umbrella which is similar to the 4G LTE network that comes in Sub 6 GHz umbrella as well.

Is 5G mmWave 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.6 May 2021
