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
Read moreWhy mmWave are preferred for 5G network?
The smaller cell sizes of 5G mmWave not only provides high throughput , but also allows for efficient use of spectrum as frequencies can be reused over relatively small distances. It is projected that outdoor cell sizes will be typically 100m to 200m and indoor high-density deployments might be as small as 10m.

Do I Need the mmWave 5G Connectivity? In a nutshell, no, most people don’t need mmWave connectivity , nor will most people even access to it on a regular basis for the next several years to come. Full mmWave 5G connectivity is still in the process of rolling out, and it continues to be limited in scope.10 May 2021
