There are three types of 5G being built in the U.S. including low-band, mid-band and high-band mmWave 5G . It’s confusing for consumers, especially since there aren’t phones that support all three yet. AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile/Sprint all have different strategies.
Read moreHow 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.

The 5G band n261 is a subset of the n257 (28 GHz) band, established to match the United States’ 28 GHz band plan . mmWave in 28 GHz band is a widely trialled / tested 5G band. Development of mmWave 28 GHz band is ongoing and is headed up by the 3GPP TR 38.815.
Read moreWhat is a mmWave device?
A millimeter wave device that generates radio-frequency power from an enclosed , orbiting electron cloud excited by a radio-frequency field when subjected to a strong, pulsed magnetic field.
Read moreWhat is the 5G mmWave spectrum?
5G high bands (mmWave, also referred to as FR2) are found in the range of 24GHz to 40GHz . They deliver large quantities of spectrum and capacity over the shortest distances. They also use massive MIMO to expand capacity and extend coverage.
Read moreHow do I know if I have 5G mmWave?
Low-frequency bands are under 1GHz, while mid-bands range from 3.4GHz to 6GHz and are not considered “mmWave.” mmWave 5G networks are ultra-fast, but they’re also ultra-short range. To use mmWave technology, you need to be within about a block of a 5G tower , which isn’t feasible in suburban and rural areas.
Read moreIs 26 GHz a mmWave?
The 26 GHz band was a millimetre wave (mmWave) band considered for International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT) allocation at the World Radiocommunications Conference in 2019. It is a milestone towards international agreement on the band for 5G wireless broadband technologies.
