Čeprav čipi WiFi mobilnih telefonov prej podpirajo dvopasovno-operacijo (2,4 GHz in 5 GHz), je uporabljen protokol še vedno standard 802.11n, najnovejši standard 802.11ac pa ni sprejet. To ni 5G WiFi v pravem pomenu. Lahko si ga preprosto zamislite kot 802.11n WiFi, ki deluje v pasu 5 GHz, s kompromisom pri zmogljivosti. Če vzamemo avtocesto kot analogijo frekvenčnemu pasu 5GHz WiFi, potem bo standard 802.11n Mercedes-Benz, standard 802.11ac pa višja raven, ki jo lahko razumemo kot športni avto.
The real 5G Wi-Fi is 802.11ac, which uses a chip operating at 5GHz and can cover both 5GHz and 2.4GHz frequency bands at the same time. In addition to being faster, it can also improve the problem of small wireless signal coverage. Although 5GHz has stronger attenuation than 2.4GHz, it is difficult to pass through obstacles. However, due to the larger coverage, considering that the signal will be refracted, the new standard will It's easier to get a signal from all corners.
