Topic: 5G Technology
The 5G that everyone fears is in the high, millimeter Wave (mmWave) band (above 20 GHz) and it is beam-formed. That type of 5G is only being deployed on certain streets in downtowns of select major cities and only on certain streets in residential neighborhoods near downtowns in those select cities. It is also being deployed in sports stadiums, arenas, airports, college campuses, metro stops and other places where large numbers of people congregate.
That mmWave 5G signal is on-demand, meaning it is only transmitted when a smart phone enabled with 5G for mmWave service in one house asks for a connection. That cell signal is only 10 degrees or so wide. If you live next door to the house where that 5G-enabled phone is calling for service and you don’t have one of those phones yourself, that signal to your neighbor’s 5G-enabled phone will not come into your house.
As of 12/31/19, the mmWave type of 5G service is only offered by Verizon on certain streets near downtowns in 31 cities, by T-Mobile on certain streets near downtowns in 6 cities, and by AT&T, as 5G+, on certain streets near downtowns in 25 cities (but only to business customers thus far). All three cell carriers are planning to expand their mmWave 5G service in each city they currently serve and in new cities.
You lose the mmWave 5G connection on a 5G-enabled phone when you move the phone around. When you move the phone, it connects back to 4G LTE service. 5G is primarily for downloading data, not voice service.
The bulk of 5G service in the US, on the other hand, is being broadcast in the low and mid bands (600 MHz to 6 GHz) from 5G as well as updated 4G LTE-Advanced radios and transmitters. These are being placed at existing 4G LTE cell sites, which are located roughly 1-1.5 miles apart, and in residential neighborhoods as small cell antennas. Existing 4G antennas transmit cell signals up to 1,000 Watts spraying always-on RF signals out into a neighborhood in a cone that is roughly 120 degrees wide. (Continue reading)
