Mid-Band Will Change 5G User Experience

Mid-band spectrum powers 5G in most countries globally. The relative lack of deployed mid-band spectrum in the U.S. market explains the slower speeds we tend to see for 5G services in most areas. The difference so far has been millimeter wave spectrum deployed by Verizon and AT&T.

The shift from low-band spectrum to mid-band spectrum for 5G coverage will make a huge difference in user experience. Simply put, low-band is for coverage, not speed. Millimeter wave is best for capacity, but not coverage. Mid-band is the best blend of coverage and capacity.
