But it also uses the low- and mid-band spectrums, just like 4G. Without all three spectrums, 5G wouldn\u2019t be reliable. So, what\u2019s the difference between these spectrums? Why do they transfer data at different speeds, and why are they all critical to 5G\u2019s success? How Do Electromagnetic Frequencies Transfer Data? Before we get too deep into low-band, mid-band, and mmWave, we need to understand how wireless data transmission works. Otherwise, we\u2019ll have trouble wrapping our heads around the differences between these three spectrums. Radio waves and microwaves are invisible to the naked eye, but they look and behave like waves in a pool of water. As a wave\u2019s frequency increases, the distance between each wave (the wavelength) gets shorter. Your phone measures wavelength to identify frequencies and to \u201chear\u201d the data that a frequency is trying to transmit. WikipediaBut a stable, unchanging frequency can\u2019t \u201ctalk\u201d to your phone. It needs to be\u00a0modulated by subtly increasing and decreasing the frequency rate&#8230;.
