Which wireless networks have 5G?

All major carriers now have nationwide 5G deployments covering at least 200 million people , with T-Mobile in the lead covering over 310 million people with its low-band network. AT&T’s low-band version now covers over 255 million people while Verizon has a low-band network that covers around 230 million.19 Oca 2022

5G phones all need 4G networks and coverage . At first, all 5G networks used 4G to establish their initial connections, something called “non-standalone.” We’re starting to move away from that now into “standalone” networks, but they lose significant performance without an assist from 4G.

However, there are actually two 5G networks at play — one that covers nearly 5,000 cities and 200 million Americans and a millimeter-wave network that’s only available in parts of the country.
