Do I Need A Router That Supports 5G mmWave?

2022 has brought in a lot of great things related to 5G coverage and understanding what this means for us all, and how to maximize on what is available to you now while also prepping for what is still to come.

With the announcement of 5G the conversation has brought up topics about the growing mmWave 5G Frequencies and we want to talk about familiarizing yourself with what products support this that would be great for your application and future proofing.

5G mmWave is an extremely fast 5G that although is still limited in where it can be found, is important to know if it is accessible to you. 

This technology is capable of changing the future!

  • mmWave utilizes the higher frequency radio bands for cellular(24GHz to 40GHz). 
  • If you are in an area capable of connecting to the mmWave, you are in the realm of being able to experience speeds of up to 4-5Gbps. 
    • Consumer speeds are often lower and factors like the line of sight to an mmWave Cell Tower are factors in the speeds you will experience. 
  • Locations where this can be utilized are going to be your major cities like:
    • Los Angeles
    • Denver
    • Phoenix
    • Dallas
    • Houston
    • Chicago
    • Boston
    • New York
    • Atlanta
    • Miami
    • Philadelphia and more

Whether you are in an area that already has mmWave or not, these are still great options as they also have coverage for the 5GSub6 and 4G LTE bands – so you can purchase something to work for what is available to you now and prepare for the mmWave bands at the same time!

How do these products work and what is their main purpose?

  • Great for locations with hard to reach cellular networks
  • Excellent for rooftop mounting and then delivering 5G speeds to a central networking closet for distribution to the rest of the building
  • These routers can fulfill the needs for large scale projects.
