Read moreWhat is the bandwidth requirement of a 5G network?
5G speeds will range from ~50 Mbit/s to over 1,000 Mbit/s (1 Gbit/s) . The fastest 5G speeds would be in the mmWave bands and can reach 4 Gbit/s with carrier aggregation and MIMO.
Read moreWhat wavelength does 5G use?
What is the 5G wavelength? Verizon 5G utilizes millimeter wave technology. These millimeter waves exist on an extremely high frequency and are considered millimeter waves because the wavelengths range between 1 and 10 mm . 5G may also utilize ultra-high frequency radio waves between 300 MHz and 3 GHz.
Read moreWhat is 5G mid-band spectrum?
5G mid-band spectrum provides coverage and capacity Spectrum in the 1 GHz – 6 GHz range is mid-band spectrum and it is considered ideal for 5G because it can carry plenty of data while also traveling significant distances. The GSMA describes spectrum in the 3.3 GHz to 3.8 GHz range as particularly appealing.
Read moreWhat spectrum is available in 5G?
5G needs spectrum within three key frequency ranges to deliver widespread coverage and support all use cases. The three ranges are: Sub-1 GHz, 1-6 GHz and above 6 GHz . – Above 6 GHz is needed to meet the ultra-high broadband speeds envisioned for 5G.
