    Doesn’t 4G and 5G also have a shorter range?

    You don’t just need to replace 3G towers, you likely need to add more towers.

      They’ll be using the same frequencies for the most part so should have the same range (and use the same towers). “Low band 5g” is the search term if you want to know more.
