5g operates at 3.5ghz carrier freq with 100mhz channel b/w. due to higher frequencies channel quality suffers from degradation indoors, and higher attenuation as well. this in turn will require higher density of gnb deployment to prevent coverage holes...

for now. 5G NR frequency bands covers also the same frequency ranges as 4G/LTE not just the new high frequency channels. Some carriers are already using low-band spectrum (600 MHz) and mid-bands.

  Yeah but you don't get the gigabit numbers that way. That's all marketing wants.

    Marketing wants coverage as well. In remote areas customers want service at all, once there is service they want faster. Depending on location marketing wants different things from 5g

      I haven't seen 5G marketing with coverage in mind. Mostly it's a hidden * (only in those cities).

        That is because marketing wants to sell faster. They want coverage, but they don't want to dilute their faster message with coverage.
