  • 5g exists at different frequencies, just like 4g.

    The lowest 4g frequency is 410mhz, and the lowest 5g frequency is 450mhz

    The range of a 5g tower can be the same or higher than a 4g tower depending on the frequency used.

    I think your confusion seems to come from the existence of 5g mmWave, which is sometimes uses synonymously with 5g. But 5g mmWave towers actually make up only a small fraction of 5g installs, the majority is using the same frequency band as 4g, and when comparing 5g to 4g at the same frequency then 5g actually even has a small range advantage
