Due to the 5th Generation (5G) mobile communication system's 10 Gbps data throughput and around 1 ms latency, there has been a tremendous rise in data traffic. The actual 3 GHz radio band is become so congested as cellular data demand rises. This prompts the search for newly assigned mobile communication frequency bands that can provide a wide range of spectrum. The use of millimeter wave (mm-wave) can overcome this. In order to support future multi-gigabit-per-second mobility, image, and multimedia applications, mm-wave communications aim to make use of the vast and underutilized bandwidth. Although millimeter wave technology has been around for a while, it has mostly been used in military application. The academic community, corporate community, and standards body have significantly boosted mm-Wave technology due to the development of process technologies and low-cost integration solutions. This paper's major goal is to shed somehow mm-Wave can be used for fifth-generation communications and how next-generation customers can greatly profit by making ethical use of the bandwidth present in the mm-Wave spectrum, which ranges from 30GHz to 300GHz. Additionally, we analyze mmWave applications in this study to show how mmWave technology may be used to deliver various services.
