Ever noticed your Wi-Fi has two versions?
Ever noticed your Wi-Fi has two versions? Something like:
HomeNetwork
HomeNetwork_5G
Most people assume that the second one is a 5G cellular, but it’s not.
It’s Wi-Fi on the 5GHz band. Besides ensuring that your Netflix streams smoothly, it’s of great importance.
The 5GHz band offers more advantages that make it ideal for industrial and embedded systems. Here’s how:
– Less crowded = more reliable
The 5GHz band deals with less interference from things like microwaves, Bluetooth devices, or nearby networks. That means stronger, cleaner signals.
– Faster data speeds
Higher bandwidth makes it great for handling real-time dashboards, data syncing, or any application that needs quick, wireless updates.
– Shorter range, but more precise
5GHz doesn’t travel as far. That’s actually a benefit in controlled environments like labs, smart buildings, and factory floors. You get more speed, and less noise.
In the embedded systems I build, I often choose 5GHz Wi-Fi for:
– Secure local communication
– Real-time monitoring apps
– Fast, wire-free deployments
No cables. No lag. No hassle.
Interesting, isn’t it?
Did you know the difference between 5G and 5GHz?
