5Ghz Features and Data Rates
The usage of 5Ghz frequency and the inevitable progression of the wireless standard has led to many benefits over the years. The most notable advances being the latest three standards; 802.11n known as the High-Throughput, leading to 802.11ac known as the Very-High-Throughput and 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) known as High-Efficiency. With these new standards a huge list of benefits comes not only to personal usage at home but also corporate space. Most notably one of the main benefits is data rates (as per the first two standard’s names). 802.11n (High-Throughput) built upon previous released standards, 802.11a for 5Ghz and 802.11g for 2.4GHz which achieved throughputs around 50Mbps. 11n bumped the data rate up all the way to a max 600Mbps which is a huge increase giving rise to its name. From here, any future standards such as 802.11ac or 11ax have always added to the ever-growing max data rates available, 11ac being nearly 7Gbps and 11ax on the push for the 10Gbps barrier. But with the
