The full speed and capabilities of 5G depend on access to mid-band spectrum. To secure 5G performance in the long-term more capacity in this range is needed, and 6 GHz is a prime candidate .
Read moreIs T Mobile 5G sub-6 or mmWave?
Thanks to the combination with Sprint, the new T-Mobile controls 319 megahertz of sub-6 GHz low and mid-band spectrum nationwide, which is nearly double that of AT&T and nearly triple that of Verizon. T-Mobile also has more than 1,100 megahertz of mmWave spectrum, which is more than AT&T, he added.
Read moreWhich 5G bands are used in the UK?
The current deployments for 5G in the UK and much of the world have been using the 3.4-3.6 GHz sub-part of the mid-band spectrum, or more recently up to 3.68 GHz in the UK including the 3.605-3.68 GHz spectrum of Three UK (extended downwards to 3.6 GHz recently by Ofcom, permitting Three to use a contiguous 100 MHz at …

On Vodafone, 5G coverage in the UK uses band n78 spectrum (3500MHz) . 4G coverage is normally available on band 7 and band 20 LTE (2600MHz & 800MHz), with 3G coverage available at 2100MHz and 2G coverage available at 900MHz.
Read moreWhat frequency does Vodafone use for 5G?
The radio frequencies currently used for 5G in the UK are similar to the ones we use for 4G services. Where 4G uses frequencies between 800 megahertz (MHz) and 2.6 gigahertz (GHz), 5G uses frequencies between 3.4GHz and 3.6GHz .30 Eyl 2021
Read moreWhat does mmWave stand for?
Millimeter wave (MM wave), also known as millimeter band, is the band of spectrum with wavelengths between 10 millimeters (30 GHz) and 1 millimeter (300 GHz). It is also known as the extremely high frequency (EHF) band by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).
