Is Wi-Fi millimeter wave?

In OpenSignal’s latest research, Verizon’s 5G download speeds ranged from 338 Mbps to 508.3 Mbps in five cities: Atlanta, Houston, Los Angeles, New York and Washington D.C. This compares to download speeds from AT&T and T-Mobile, ranging from 44.9 Mbps to 143.3 Mbps.

Millimeter wave is a band of electromagnetic spectrum that can be used in a broad range of products and services, such as high-speed, point-to-point wireless local area networks (WLANs) and broadband access.

Millimeter wave fixed wireless technology enables service providers and enterprise network operators to extend their network with multi-gigabit speeds in urban, suburban and rural locations. Wi-Fi deployments require higher WAN capacity, forcing convergence of the WAN and LAN.
