This is "Wi-Fi using 5G". You can outright buy a home 5G "router" and "join" network from phones. Cellular carriers aren't involved at all.

There are actually the same legal frameworks and products for LTE as well; you can request quotes for an EPC installed on a mini PC and mini eNB in white plastic enclosures with requisite FCC labels. Though, cost and performance were not highly competitive relative to Wi-Fi. Starting from couple thousands of dollars or so.
