Who uses sub6 5G?

Sub-6 5G will have better coverage than millimeter-wave but isn’t as widely available, making the potential top speed lower. Currently, AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, and U.S. Cellular utilize sub-6 5G in the United States. The FCC says that low-band frequencies are 600Mhz, 800Mhz, and 900Mhz.

Radio frequency bands below 6 GHz (6,000 MHz) . Prior to 2019, all radio frequency bands used for mobile phones were below 6 GHz. 5G introduced much higher-frequency mmWave bands, and thus the need for the term “sub-6 GHz” to distinguish existing bands from mmWave.

5G mmWave is a revolutionary cellular technology, providing access to massive bandwidth and capacity available in frequency bands above 24 GHz . Once deemed impossible by skeptics, 5G mmWave is now embraced by the wireless ecosystem and continues to gain momentum globally.
