There are two “kinds” of 5G, since 5G is a broad marketing term:
- Regular deployments anywhere between 600MHz and 3500MHz (or so), as an iteration on 4G. Actual band depends on the country, licensing and spectrum needs.
- 5G ultra wide band (UWB), which is often deployed around 30-38GHz, and is thus highly attenuated and needs to be extremely directional. This is the “street corner only” type of 5G.
