Keep in mind, that cellmapper.net does not acquire the data on their
own. They rely on data provided by users of the app - and it can take a
couple of weeks or even months, until data provided by the app is
visible on the map as well:

<https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cellmapper.net.cellmapper>

So if cellmapper may not report 5G for a specific area because nobody
reported 5G yet even if it is available.
