Thank you, I stand corrected. It seems 5G is all over the spectrum according to the FCC[0]. Not quite sure why I thought it was limited to sub 6GHz for some reason.

[O]: https://www.fcc.gov/5G



Probably because sub6 is the only one that matters to most people. The others are rather useless outside of high density events(think a football stadium and such), as they have next to zero penetration power.


Most 5G phones only supports “sub6” and only few supports “mmWave” standards. These are sort of analogous to “2.4GHz” and “5GHz” in Wi-Fi.
