At What Frequency Is 5G?

5G Ultra Wideband, Verizon's millimeter wavelength (mmWave)-based 5G, operates at frequencies of about 28 GHz and 39GHz. This is considerably higher than 4G networks, which use about 700 MHz-2500 MHz frequency to transfer information.

What is the frequency of 4G vs 5G?

4G networks use frequencies below 6 GHz, while 5G will use much higher frequencies in the 30 GHz to 300 GHz range. The larger the frequency, the greater its ability to support fast data without interfering with other wireless signals or becoming overly cluttered.

Is 5G a different frequency?

Some 5G networks use the 25-39 GHz frequency band, but there are also two other frequencies available. 5G cellular networks are being deployed worldwide and offer substantially higher speeds than existing 4G/LTE networks.
