5G NR can run on any band; it's not specific to mmwave.

I know. But 90% of articles call specific arbitrary subsets "5G" and it gets annoying to have the details skipped. By 5G does an article mean the incremental improvements, the expansion in mid-range frequencies, or the mmwave stuff? It's a crapshoot.

Let alone more subtle but important information like whether it's 5G in both directions.
