FactFlash: 5G/IOT For Not So Dummies™️
>> More than 6 GHz bandwidth is remarkably available, so it is extremely well suited for producing high data rates. However, the problem is with attenuation (the higher the frequency, the more damping). This leads to the fact that in the 6GHz range, we are approaching the use of massive MIMO, especially the beam formers, in order to get even some coverage area. That means LTE-NR CAT2.
