Why does 5G use higher frequency?

The increased speed is achieved partly by using additional higher-frequency radio waves in addition to the low- and medium-band frequencies used in previous cellular networks. However, higher-frequency radio waves have a shorter useful physical range, requiring smaller geographic cells .

What is the advantage of a 5G?

The main advantages of the 5G are a greater speed in the transmissions, a lower latency and therefore greater capacity of remote execution, a greater number of connected devices and the possibility of implementing virtual networks (network slicing), providing more adjusted connectivity to concrete needs.

What is high-band?

High-band spectrum refers to frequencies typically above 6 GHz in bands that are not used for mobile wireless service today . Thanks to significant research and development, however, we can now start to use high-band spectrum above 24 GHz, known as “millimeter wave,” for mobile broadband.

What is the fastest 5G band?

The fastest 5G speeds would be in the mmWave bands and can reach 4 Gbit/s with carrier aggregation and MIMO. Sub-6 GHz 5G (mid-band 5G), by far the most common, will usually deliver between 100 and 4,400 MBit/s but will have a much further reach than mmWave, especially outdoors.

What is high-band 5G?

5G high-band spectrum delivers super-fast speeds over short distances . The third bucket of spectrum where wireless operators are deploying 5G is in the millimeter wave spectrum. This is very high on the spectrum chart in the 24 GHz band and higher.
