Some carriers offer a cellular option with 5G. See the following from Back up iPhone - Apple Support


Note: On models that support 5G, your carrier may give you the option to back up iPhone using your cellular network. Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > iCloud Backup, then turn on or off Backup Over Cellular.
