A high-capacity city permit office can cover desks adequately on 5 GHz. Leadership prefers 2.4 GHz 'because it reaches farther.' Which band-selection judgment is best?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Farther isn't better when the room is already covered and crowded — 5 GHz gives you more clean lanes for a busy permit counter. Clinging to 2.4 for 'reach' in a dense office just invites a traffic jam.
Full Explanation
When coverage on 5 GHz is sufficient, expert capacity designs favor higher bands for more non-overlapping channels and typically cleaner air versus congested 2.4 GHz. Greater 2.4 GHz range can increase co-channel contention in dense spaces and is the wrong primary objective for a high-capacity office. Claims that 2.4 GHz offers superior wide-channel capacity are incorrect.
