As you can see in this bar chart, the vast majority of 4G LTE mobile data volume goes through mid-band spectrum. That would be the 1900MHz band 2 (B2) for AT&T; the 1900MHz B2 together with 1700MHz AWS bands B4 and B66 for Verizon; and pretty much the same combination of B2, B4 and B66 for T-Mobile.

T-Mobile also announced today that it’s launching new capabilities with 5G carrier aggregation (NR CA), combining two channels of 2.5 GHz mid-band spectrum for greater speed and capacity.
Read moreWhat is considered mid-band?
Spectrum in the 1 GHz – 6 GHz range is mid-band spectrum and it is considered ideal for 5G because it can carry plenty of data while also traveling significant distances. The GSMA describes spectrum in the 3.3 GHz to 3.8 GHz range as particularly appealing.
Read moreWhat is mid-band spectrum?
It’s the mid-band spectrum, the middle layer of the cake, that brings together the best of both worlds: long range for broad coverage, with high capacity and speed and the ability to penetrate walls . This is why mid-band has been called the “sweet spot” spectrum for 5G.
