5G Spectrums: Not All Bands are Created Equal
5G network has a broad EMF spectrum which divides 5G connectivity into three main types based on their radio wave spectrum, coverage, and latency.
Low-band Spectrum
5G networks with frequencies under 1 GHz and can reach hundreds of square miles for nationwide coverage. Low-band 5G networks are 20% faster than 4G LTE with a download speed of around 250 Mbps.
Mid-band Spectrum
5G networks with a frequency spectrum of 1-6 GHz or what is known as sup-6 GHz. Mid-band 5G networks focus around metropolitan areas with speed around six times faster than 4G LTE, ranging from 125-900 Mbps.
High-band Spectrum (mmWave)
5G mmWave frequency bands are ten times faster than 4G LTE. With a spectrum range of 24-50 GHz, 5G mmWave low-latency speed can reach up to 10Gbps of data rates. High-band 5G networks have coverage just over a kilometer which are centered around dense urban areas.

Low-Band 5G | Mid-Band 5G (sub-6 Ghz) | High-Band 5G (mmWave) | |
---|---|---|---|
EMF Spectrum | <1 GHz | 1-6 GHz | 25-50 GHz |
Latency Speed | ~250 Mbps | 125-900 Mbps | Up to 10 Gbps |
Coverage | Nationwide, Hundreds of Miles2 | Metropolitan Areas, Several Miles2 | Dense Urban Areas, Less than a Mile |
Comparison to 4G LTE | 20% Faster | 6x Faster | 10x Faster |
