What are the US 5G bands?

What frequency does 5G use? Verizon uses several spectrum bands for its 5G offerings. 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.

AT&T is currently rolling out a 5G network based on its 39GHz band (band n260) .

The FCC concluded its first 5G spectrum auctions in the 28 GHz band; the 24 GHz band; and the upper 37 GHz, 39 GHz, and 47 GHz bands . With these auctions, the FCC is releasing almost 5 gigahertz of 5G spectrum into the market—more than all other flexible use bands combined.
