There are three types of 5G being built in the U.S. including low-band, mid-band and high-band mmWave 5G . It’s confusing for consumers, especially since there aren’t phones that support all three yet. AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile/Sprint all have different strategies.

Millimeter wave is the band of spectrum between 30 GHz and 300 GHz .
Read moreWhat is the band frequency of 5G?
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.17 Ara 2020
Read moreIs 5G mmWave low frequency?
mmWave refers to higher frequency radio bands ranging from 24GHz to 40GHz , and Sub-6GHz refers to mid and low-frequency bands under 6GHz. Low-frequency bands are under 1GHz, while mid-bands range from 3.4GHz to 6GHz and are not considered “mmWave.” mmWave 5G networks are ultra-fast, but they’re also ultra-short range.
Read moreWhat band is mmWave 5G?
5G high bands (mmWave, also referred to as FR2) are found in the range of 24GHz to 40GHz . They deliver large quantities of spectrum and capacity over the shortest distances.
