Today, a majority of commercial 5G networks rely on spectrum in the 3.5 GHz range (3.3 GHz-4.2 GHz) . This momentum makes it vital that regulators assign as much contiguous 5G spectrum as possible in the range. However, 5G needs more mid-band spectrum to maintain quality of service and meet growing demand.
Read moreWho has the largest 5G network?
T-Mobile has the largest 5G network by a considerable margin. T-Mobile started building a 28GHz or 29GHz high-band mmWave network in the middle of 2019 before following it up with 5G on its 600MHz spectrum.
Read moreWhich spectrum is best for 5G?
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 wavelengths do 5G use?
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 moreWho owns the 5G spectrum?
Verizon is the top bidder on 5G spectrum , committing more than $45 billion. The Federal Communications Commission announced the winners of an $81 billion auction for the license to use important airwaves that are ideal for 5G. The big winners were Verizon and AT&T.
Read moreWhat is a 5G spectrum?
The 5G spectrum is a range of radio frequencies in the sub-6 GHz range and the millimeter-wave (mmWave) frequency range that is 24.25 GHz and above . The 5G spectrum refers to the radio frequencies that carry data from user equipment (UE) to cellular base stations to the data’s endpoint.18 Oca 2020
