5G can be deployed on the same spectrum as LTE, including the low frequency bands that support long range. For those deployments you do get faster speeds compared to LTE but not significantly (I've read it's about 25% faster for the same spectrum). All 3 major cellular providers in the US have 5G deployed on their low-band spectrum (T-Mobile on band 71 (600 MHz) and AT&T and Verizon on band 5 (800 MHz)).
