In 5G technology, two kinds of frequency bands are classified. First are Sub-6 GHz bands where the frequency transmitted from cell phone towers are less than 6GHz frequency . This is very similar to 4G, where the frequencies transmitted from cell phone towers are below 6GHz.7 Mar 2020
Read moreWhat is 5G sub-6GHz?
Sub-6GHz 5G is faster than 4G , but it doesn’t offer the blazing-fast speeds that you can get with mmWave. Since it has a longer range and can better penetrate objects, it’s much more affordable for carriers to implement. It’s worth noting that mmWave 5G offers greater bandwidth, relieving network congestion.10 May 2021

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 .

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.
