Arguably the most useful band for 5G is mid-band , the range between 1 GHz and 6 GHz. Compared with low-band, there is more mid-band spectrum so it can deliver much faster throughput speeds and has far greater capacity.
Read moreWhat are the 3 5G bands?
There are three types of 5G being built in the U.S. including low-band, mid-band and high-band mmWave 5G . It’s confusing for consumers, especially since there aren’t phones that support all three yet. AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile/Sprint all have different strategies.
Read moreHow many 5G bands are there?
5G comes in three major bands which are Low-frequency bands, Medium range frequency bands and High range frequency bands and not all bands are equal. Low and Mid band frequencies come under the Sub-GHz umbrella which is similar to the 4G LTE network that comes in Sub 6 GHz umbrella as well.
