How long is a 5G wireless frequency?

All of the waves listed below are examples of both Microwaves and Radio waves, therefore, scientists use the term Radio-Frequency Microwave Radiation (RF/MW radiation) to describe this entire range of wavelengths/frequencies.

The Panoply of Microwave Frequencies/Wavelengths in a 4G/5G World

From Scientists 4 Wired Tech

  • 5G: 600 MHz = waves 20 inches long
