WLAN 2,4GHz


WLAN 2.4 GHz is a commonly used Wi-Fi frequency band for networking devices. It operates in the range of 2.401 GHz to 2.484 GHz and offers a range of advantages and disadvantages that make it suitable for various applications.

Advantages:

  • Wider coverage: Radio waves at 2.4 GHz have a better ability to penetrate walls and other obstacles, providing a wider Wi-Fi range. This is particularly beneficial in homes and buildings with thick walls or multiple floors.

  • Compatibility: The 2.4 GHz band is supported by virtually all Wi-Fi devices, including older laptops, smartphones, and other electronic devices. This ensures broad compatibility and makes it easy to connect devices to the network.

  • Less interference from household devices: The 2.4 GHz band is less susceptible to interference from household devices operating in the same frequency range, such as microwaves, cordless phones, and some Bluetooth devices.

Applications:

  • WLAN 2.4 GHz is well-suited for devices that don't require high bandwidth, such as smartphones, tablets, laptops for browsing the internet, checking email, and using social media.

  • It's also a good choice for smart home devices like thermostats, smart lights, and security cameras that don't require transmitting large amounts of data.

  • The 2.4 GHz band can also be used for long-range Wi-Fi networks, such as those in warehouses or open areas.
