The abundant spectrum available at mmWave frequency bands above 24 GHz can deliver extreme capacity, ultra-high throughput and ultra-low latency. At Qualcomm, we made mobile mmWave possible in commercial 5G systems and continue to drive the technology evolution in this decade and beyond.
mmWave brings many performance benefits and it is an essential part of the 5G system. It provides mobile operators with a critical competitive advantage to address massive increases in mobile data demand and to expand 5G into fixed wireless, enterprise and industrial applications.
This study by GSMA Intelligence finds how mmWave is a cost-effective and competitive deployment strategy across different countries and deployment scenarios including dense urban, indoor enterprises, and fixed wireless access (FWA).
This study details observations of 5G mmWave real-world testing done in commercial networks in the United States. Topics explored include mmWave in the enterprise, 4K multi-screen content, fixed wireless access, and increased downlink and uplink network capacity, thanks to support for up to 8 downlink and up to 2 uplink mmWave component carriers.

Transmissions at mmWave bands are challenging due to significantly higher path loss and sensitivity to blockage. In addition, mmWave RF complexity makes meeting the cost and power constraints of mobile devices extremely challenging, which is why mmWave for mobile communications has historically been not feasible—until now. 5G NR mmWave is changing this, and we’re leading the way.
