What bands will 5G use?

With the Department of Telecommunications giving a green signal to Indian operators to start the 5G trials in India, it is no surprise that the mid band (3.2- 3.67 GHz) is among the frequencies being used, along with the mmWave band (24.25-28.5GHz) and the sub gigahertz band (700MHz) we well as existing spectrums in …

What is the fastest 5G band?

The fastest 5G speeds would be in the mmWave bands and can reach 4 Gbit/s with carrier aggregation and MIMO. 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.
