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.

Mid- and low bands for coverage and capacity 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.
Read moreIs 4G LTE 5ghz?
LTE stands for Long Term Evolution, and is associated with the 4G and 5G wireless communications standard designed to provide higher speeds than the 3G networks for mobile devices, such as smartphones, tablets, and wireless hotspots.
Read moreWhat is high band vs low-band?
Spectrum determines 5G speed and coverage High-band spectrum may give you blazing fast speeds and lots of capacity —but only if you are close to the cell site. Low-band may provide excellent coverage but the network performance may only be a small step up from 4G.
Read moreWhat is low-band vs High band?
High-band spectrum may give you blazing fast speeds and lots of capacity —but only if you are close to the cell site. Low-band may provide excellent coverage but the network performance may only be a small step up from 4G .
Read moreIs low-band 5G faster than 4G?
Low-band 5G operates on some of the same frequencies as 4G, delivering slightly faster speeds —think 50–60 Mbps—over long distances. It will work best in rural areas where people are more spread out and you can provide service with a handful of cellular towers.
Read moreWhat is the point of low-band 5G?
In a 5G world, low-band spectrum will make it possible for operators to provide a wide-swath of coverage but it also means that the speed and latency of the 5G network will probably only be incrementally better than what is delivered with 4G networks.
