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 moreDoes UK use C band 5G?
The 5GHz spectrum in the UK runs from 5150MHz (5.15GHz) to 5850MHz (5.85GHz). This is then broken down into 3 different bands (Band A, B and C). Each band has its own maximum allowed effective radiated power output and specific rules as to where it can be used and whether a licence is required to operate within it.
Read moreWhat frequencies do 5G use?
5G can be implemented in low-band, mid-band or high-band millimeter-wave 24 GHz up to 54 GHz . Low-band 5G uses a similar frequency range to 4G cellphones, 600–900 MHz, giving download speeds a little higher than 4G: 30–250 megabits per second (Mbit/s).

Read moreIs there mmWave 5G?
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 moreWhat type of 5G does the UK use?
All four of the UK’s core networks – EE, O2, Vodafone and Three – offer 5G . Other networks are known as Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) and piggyback off the back of one of the core networks. So far MVNOs BT (EE), VOXI (Vodafone), Tesco Mobile (O2) and Sky Mobile (O2) have launched a 5G service.

Then O2 has both 40MHz in the 3.4GHz band and 40MHz in the 3.6GHz band, as well as 20MHz in the 700MHz band. Finally, Vodafone has 50MHz in the 3.4GHz band and 40MHz in the 3.6GHz band, but no 700MHz spectrum. … How much 5G spectrum do the UK’s networks have?
