5G technology is still a mystery for all people. Even though 5G is widely available in the USA, most users can’t use the full potential because of the low band. Only Verizon and AT&T currently provide mmWave 5G, Which is not widely available in all areas. Because mmWave Antennas can’t cover vast regions, They have to plant more antennas, and the process is complicated. Now, US carriers come with a solution called C-Band 5G which can cover more area. Even though no multiple lists support this band, TCL 30 V with C-Band 5G is available for Free with 24 Months commitment on Verizon.
C-Band 5G
C-Band is the “mid-band” spectrum because at more than 1 GHz and 7. GHz is between low-band spectra such as Verizon’s 700 MHz spectrum and high-band spectra, such as our mmWave spectrum of 28 GHz and 39 GHz.
Over 70% of 5G devices in the hands of users are currently C-Band compatible. It is the iPhone 12 model, and most Samsung Galaxy S21 5G or later models will support C-band through a software upgrade. As of now, all the 5G phones that Verizon introduces for postpaid customers will be compatible with C-Band, with more than 20 C-Band- compatible handsets available towards the close of the calendar year.
