The 6 GHz band is considered in the “upper mid-band spectrum” for 5G , according to a report by Coleago Consulting cited by the GSMA. As of mid-2020, upper mid-band spectrum used in most countries was in 3.4-3.8 GHz range.18 May 2021
Read moreIs 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.
Read moreWhat WiFi is 6GHz?
The 2.4 GHz band provides the most coverage but transmits data at slower speeds. The 5 GHz band provides less coverage but transmits data at faster speeds. The 6 GHz band, introduced with the new WiFi 6E standard, provides the least coverage but transmits data at the fastest speeds of the three frequencies .

5G Frequency FAQs It uses the mmWave spectrum band at 28 GHz and 39 GHz .
Read moreWhat spectrum Does Japan use?
The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications in Japan held the 5G spectrum auction in April 2019. The country’s telecom operators acquired spectrum in the 3.7 GHz, 4.5 GHz and 28 GHz (n78, n77, n79 and n257) bands . 5G service is provided by four telecom operators in Japan: NTT Docomo, KDDI, Rakuten and Softbank.22 Tem 2020
Read moreWhat is the challenge of 5G?
Challenges with 5G include the ability to provide the necessary bandwidth to users with the devices capable of higher data rates . Using a frequency above six gigahertz enables networks to do this. However, high-frequencies entail problems with 5G.
Read moreWhy is 5G so difficult?
5G Network Deployment Challenges Due to the type of signal that some 5G cell towers transmit, their reach is severely limited to devices in proximity . Many networks are operating on 5G radio frequencies called millimeter waves that are capable of carrying lots of data.
