5G isn't going far (literally) in the US because the L, S, and lower C bands (1 - 6 GHz) are crowded, with only 100 MHz available for 5G (I think Sprint has that allocation). Without that, no mobile communications to speak of -- no reach.

This is where Huawei has it's bread and butter technology.

In the US, the FCC has or is auctioning off mmWave spectrum. 24 and 28 GHz bands. Higher bands too. The FCC is also looking at "flexible use" for the mid bands (S and C), we'll see how that plays out.

Verizon and AT&T are going after mmWave. I see that as a service that goes from the curbside to the home, if home isn't too far away. Fiber will have to connect all the nodes at the curbside to the network.

Currently it’s technology in the US is in communications infrastructure. Corporations like CenturyLink use it’s fiber transmission equipment extensively throughout the country, providing big pipe connections for companies around the globe. Although to their credit they do not use the gear to provide connectivity for any US government entities which is a relief
