Between the first real discussions and the “complete” deployment of 5G in France, five years have passed. Since 2020, our smartphones and other devices can finally use the new network technology succeeding 4G. Only, this 5G is not complete. The so-called “5G midband” uses 3.5 GHz network bands, also loosely called “5G sub-6”. The potential of 5G is therefore not fully unveiled: the famous millimeter waves, supposed to release all the speed of the network, are not exploited.
5G millimeter, also known as 5G mmwv (for millimeter wave) allows the use of the 26 GHz network band (or 28 GHz in the United States and Asia), which promises hypothetically 5 to 10 times the capacities than we can get with the current 5G. A good prospect which should – to give an order of comparison – offer higher speeds and speeds than very high speed fiber. A necessity when we know that by 2028,…
