Wireless 5G-enabled devices connect to the internet and telephone networks using radio waves that go through a nearby antenna.As the upcoming iteration of wireless broadband network technology, 5G provides peak speeds as high as 10 gigabits per second (Gbps) for downloads.5G can operate on low frequencies (below 6 GHz), as well as HF ranges, commonly known as millimeter waves, or MM waves (higher than 6 GHz).

The higher the frequency, the more likely the user is to experience higher data transfer speeds.
