What is spectrum and band?

Portions of electromagnetic spectrum are grouped in “bands” depending on their wavelengths—the distance over which the wave’s shape repeats . The full electromagnetic spectrum ranges from three Hz (extremely low frequency) to 300 EHz (gamma rays).

What is high band 5G?

5G high-band spectrum delivers super-fast speeds over short distances . The third bucket of spectrum where wireless operators are deploying 5G is in the millimeter wave spectrum. This is very high on the spectrum chart in the 24 GHz band and higher.

Why does 5G use higher frequency?

The increased speed is achieved partly by using additional higher-frequency radio waves in addition to the low- and medium-band frequencies used in previous cellular networks. However, higher-frequency radio waves have a shorter useful physical range, requiring smaller geographic cells .
