It has low frequency, allowing it to transmit over longer ranges . It provides coverage to low-density rural and suburban areas. It can transmit a large amount of information with low latency.
Read moreWhy are 5G mmWave signals?
In summary, the use of mmWave signals in 5G enables dramatic improvements in speed and latency , offering the performance to significantly boost traditional wireless data applications and enable entirely new use cases such as ultra-low-latency communications (URLLC), cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) communications …
Read moreWhat is a limitation of 5G mmWave?
As a backgrounder , electromagnetic waves with higher frequencies cannot travel long distances and are more susceptible to physical obstructions .
Read moreWhy does 5G mmWave require more cells?
Because 5G mmWave is a radio frequency wave with a tiny wavelength ranging between 24 GigaHertz and 100 GigaHertz, it requires more cells to generate a stronger signal . It has a very high frequency and hence provides a lot of bandwidth.
