What are you referring to? My web searching skills are failing me right now …

The terms LF, MF, and HF refer to Low, Medium, and High Frequency, respectively. Clearly, when the names were assigned nobody expected to go above 10 MHz, so the higher bands were later named the Very, Ultra, Super, Extremely, and Tremendously High Frequency bands. Beyond that there are no names, but Incredibly, Astonishingly, and Prodigiously High Frequency (IHF, AHF, and PHF) would sound nice.
That's what the 5th edition says. I think it worded slightly differently in the 3rd edition (which is the one I read).
"Tremendously High Frequency" actually exists? I wonder why they have to have names for these things in the first place. Why not just USB3.1 10Gbps? I'm sure it is just as confusing as remembering that SuperDuperSpeedUltra is faster than SuperDuperSpeedPlus. Or even better, pull an Apple and don't mention it at all. It's USB3.1. Job done.
