5GHz vs 5G

Like its predecessors, 5G networks are cellular networks , in which the service area is divided into small geographical areas called cells. All 5G wireless devices in a cell are connected to the Internet and telephone network by radio waves through a local antenna in the cell.

The two big differences between these upending internet technologies, 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wifi connections are – speed and range . A wireless transmission at 2.4 GHz provides internet to a larger area but sacrifices the fast internet speed, while 5 GHz provides faster speeds but restricts itself to a smaller area.
