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 moreIs 5G low-band faster than 4G LTE?
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 moreIs 5G signal stronger than LTE?
With 5G, networks can move vast amounts of data more efficiently than with 4G LTE . That means: Faster speeds to download movies and shows or video chat on the go. More connected devices with a faster signal at large events.
Read moreWhat are the 3 bands of 5G?
Low, mid, and high band 5G, summarized Understanding how 5G service works comes down to recognizing that all three bands are being used to deliver 5G service, each with its own combination of speed and range.
