mmWave refers to higher frequency radio bands ranging from 24GHz to 40GHz, and Sub-6GHz refers to mid and low-frequency bands under 6GHz . 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.10 May 2021
Read moreWhat band is sub-6?
The first band defined*1 by 3GPP is from 410 MHz to 7125 MHz and is described as the sub-6 GHz or sub-7 GHz band. It is used by the LTE/LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) and WLAN technologies, and has been extended in recent years.

Sub-6 GHz 5G (mid-band 5G), by far the most common, will usually deliver between 100 and 4,400 MBit/s but will have a much further reach than mmWave, especially outdoors. C-Band (n77/n78) will be deployed by various U.S. operators in 2022.

5G Ultra Wideband, Verizon’s millimeter wavelength (mmWave)-based 5G, operates at frequencies of about 28 GHz and 39GHz . This is considerably higher than 4G networks, which use about 700 MHz-2500 MHz frequency to transfer information.
