5G needs spectrum within three key frequency ranges to deliver widespread coverage and support all use cases. The three ranges are: Sub-1 GHz, 1-6 GHz and above 6 GHz . – Above 6 GHz is needed to meet the ultra-high broadband speeds envisioned for 5G.

5G can be implemented in low-band, mid-band or high-band millimeter-wave 24 GHz up to 54 GHz . Low-band 5G uses a similar frequency range to 4G cellphones, 600–900 MHz, giving download speeds a little higher than 4G: 30–250 megabits per second (Mbit/s).
