5G uses different frequencies. 5G Low Band provides wider coverage, but at slower speeds. Higher frequencies provide faster signal speed, but not as much coverage.


In other words, everything is a trade off. You can have wider coverage, but speeds will slow. Or, you can have faster speeds, but the coverage will be significantly less.


The best compromise might be to use mid-band, if it is available.
