Verizon has the largest mmWave footprint of any U.S. operator , but it spent heavily to earn that designation and it’s unlikely to ever get a return on that investment, he said.
Read moreIs mmWave faster than sub6?
In short, mmWave spectrum allows for large bandwidth, which paves the way for potentially faster speeds . Sub-6 GHz spectrum, meanwhile, has limited bandwidth and therefore its speeds could potentially be slower than possible with mmWave spectrum.
Read moreDo I need mmWave 5G?
Sub-6GHz 5G is essential for blanket coverage and bandwidth, while mmWave offers higher speeds over shorter distances . As such, mmWave deployments are limited to short distances, such as a few streets, and areas that benefit most from extreme high bandwidth, such as stadiums and city centers.
Read moreWill the UK get mmWave?
This simply isn’t true – mmWave technology is not currently used in the UK . In the UK, 5G networks use the spectrum in the 3.4-3.8GHz band, and at 700MHz, which is similar to digital television signals.
