Millimeter wave (MM wave), also known as millimeter band, is the band of spectrum with wavelengths between 10 millimeters (30 GHz) and 1 millimeter (300 GHz) . It is also known as the extremely high frequency (EHF) band by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).
Read moreIs mmWave 5G important?
Sub-6GHz 5G is essential for blanket coverage and bandwidth , while mmWave offers higher speeds over shorter distances. As such, mmWave deployments are limited to short distances, such as a few streets, and areas that benefit most from extreme high bandwidth, such as stadiums and city centers.
Read moreWhat is limitations of 5G mmWave?
Millimeter waves — often referred to as mmWaves or high-band 5G — are frequencies starting at 24 GHz and beyond. As radio waves increase in frequency, each wave narrows in length. Because of its high frequencies, mmWave has a limited range of only 300 to 500 feet and struggles to penetrate buildings.

Annoyingly, however, not all 5G works the same. … Between AT&T’s 5G+, Verizon’s “Ultra-Wideband” 5G, and T-Mobile’s “nationwide” network, different carriers’ marketing terms can make it tough to tell what you’re actually getting from their 5G plans.
Read moreWhat are the deployment modes of 5G?
Currently, 5G offers two modes of deployment, Standalone (SA) and Non-Standalone (NSA) mode of deployment . The NSA mode of deployment uses 5G Radio Access Network (RAN) with the existing LTE core network. The SA mode of deployment uses 5G RAN with a 5G core network [7].

Read moreWhy mmWave are preferred for 5G network?
The smaller cell sizes of 5G mmWave not only provides high throughput , but also allows for efficient use of spectrum as frequencies can be reused over relatively small distances. It is projected that outdoor cell sizes will be typically 100m to 200m and indoor high-density deployments might be as small as 10m.
