Low-band spectrum (below 1 GHz) is suitable for wide-area coverage and better signal penetration through obstacles.

mmWave spectrum offers much wider bandwidth, enabling significantly higher data rates and capacity.

Auctions are often used to allocate spectrum for 5G, allowing governments to generate revenue and ensure fair competition.

Deploying 5G in rural areas can be challenging due to limited infrastructure, such as fiber optic networks and cell towers.

Massive MIMO uses multiple antennas to focus signals towards specific devices, improving signal strength and capacity.

Network slicing allows network operators to create virtual networks with specific characteristics, tailored to different applications and services.

Mid-band spectrum (2-6 GHz) offers a balance between coverage and capacity, making it suitable for a wide range of 5G applications.

Dynamic spectrum sharing allows different services or users to access the same spectrum band at different times or locations, increasing spectrum utilization.

Fiber optic cables are widely used for 5G backhaul due to their high bandwidth and low latency.

Small cells can reduce latency by bringing the network closer to users, resulting in faster data transmission.

High-band spectrum (above 6 GHz) offers extremely high data rates and capacity, but with limited coverage and signal penetration.

Dense urban areas often experience high levels of interference due to the presence of multiple networks and devices, making it challenging to deploy 5G effectively.

5G core networks typically utilize SDN, NFV, and cloud computing to achieve flexibility, scalability, and cost-effectiveness.

Edge computing brings processing and storage closer to the network edge, reducing latency and improving the performance of latency-sensitive applications.

Spectrum refarming involves reallocating spectrum from existing services to 5G, aiming to improve spectrum utilization and efficiency.
