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 moreWhy does 5G mmWave require more cells to achieve a better signal Why does 5G mmWave require more cells to achieve a better signal?
Because 5G mmWave is a radio frequency wave with a tiny wavelength ranging between 24 GigaHertz and 100 GigaHertz, it requires more cells to generate a stronger signal . It has a very high frequency and hence provides a lot of bandwidth.

It has low frequency, allowing it to transmit over longer ranges . It provides coverage to low-density rural and suburban areas. It can transmit a large amount of information with low latency.
