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.
Read moreWhat 5G network is best?
Best overall: T-Mobile T-Mobile’s 5G network covers more than 305 million people in the U.S., including a lot of coverage in rural areas. This is mostly thanks to T-Mobile’s low-band 600Mhz (n71) spectrum, which offers excellent coverage and speeds comparable to fast LTE.
Read moreWhat are the differences in 5G networks?
5G can be significantly faster than 4G , delivering up to 20 Gigabits-per-second (Gbps) peak data rates and 100+ Megabits-per-second (Mbps) average data rates. 5G has more capacity than 4G. 5G is designed to support a 100x increase in traffic capacity and network efficiency. 5G has lower latency than 4G.
Read moreWhat is high-band?
High-band spectrum refers to frequencies typically above 6 GHz in bands that are not used for mobile wireless service today . Thanks to significant research and development, however, we can now start to use high-band spectrum above 24 GHz, known as “millimeter wave,” for mobile broadband.
Read moreWhat is the fastest 5G band?
The fastest 5G speeds would be in the mmWave bands and can reach 4 Gbit/s with carrier aggregation and MIMO. Sub-6 GHz 5G (mid-band 5G), by far the most common, will usually deliver between 100 and 4,400 MBit/s but will have a much further reach than mmWave, especially outdoors.
Read moreWhich spectrum band is used for 5G?
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.
Read moreHow many bands of 5G are there?
For now, India has earmarked 3300-3600 MHZ bands for 5G. But Indian telcos telecom operators use spectrum in the 1800, 2100, 2300 MHz bands as well as those in the 800 and 900 Mhz bands to currently offer 4G.
