mmWave sweet spot for eMBB
High traffic area
● mmWave adds the needed capacity in crowded locations
where sub6 band will not handle the growing eMBB traffic.

Crowded location

Radio in LoS

Good radio conditions● mmWave delivers to the majority of user that are in goodradio conditions (LoS). More capacity and better
performance left for user in poorer conditions on other bands

Large data sessions● mmWave only activated for larger data sessions, as video,
while saving signaling and UE battery.
