There is actually very little difference in the range of 4G versus 5G. As long as the frequencies used remain the same, the only issue you might have is since bandwidths are wider, you need to have slightly more powerful radios and or lose some range due to dBm per megahert.

A 710 MHz frequency with a 20 MHz channel width will go the exact same distance on LTE and 5G.

Now that same 710 megahertz frequency with 80 megahertz on 5G will not go as far because of decibels per megahertz. But if you increase the power slightly, it will go the same distance.
