A company is looking to upgrade their wireless networks. They require a solution with a high data rate that operates exclusively on the 5GHz frequency to avoid interference issues that they previously encountered on the 2.4GHz channels. Which wireless standard should the company choose for the BEST performance?
802.11ac, also known as Wi-Fi 5, is the best choice for the company because it operates exclusively on the 5GHz frequency, which reduces interference with other devices typically found on the crowded 2.4GHz frequency. Moreover, 802.11ac offers higher data rates compared to standards such as 802.11n, which can operate on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz but may not achieve the same peak performance provided by 802.11ac on the 5GHz band.
