Mid-band 5G uses microwaves of 2.3–4.7 GHz , allowing speeds of 100–900 Mbit/s, with each cell tower providing service up to several kilometers in radius. This level of service is the most widely deployed, and was deployed in many metropolitan areas in 2020.

Arguably the most useful band for 5G is mid-band, the range between 1 GHz and 6 GHz . Compared with low-band, there is more mid-band spectrum so it can deliver much faster throughput speeds and has far greater capacity.

Finally, there is high-band. Also called millimeter wave (mmWave), this band provides the ultra-fast connections we are promised with 5G. The bands operate between 24 and 40 GHz with peak speed potentially up to 3 Gbps . Download speeds in this band can range from 10 to 100 times faster than 4G.18 Mar 2022
