In case folks are initially confused as I was, the 5G being referred to here is the 5G used for next generation cellular networks – I.e., 5th generation, not 5GHz like used for WiFi in standards such as 802.11a/n/ac.
Also, as another comment points out, this 5G can use more than one broad range in the frequency spectrum, this only affects one of those, and not the street corner/short range one, which is at a much higher frequency.
- neartheplain 6y agoTo make things even more confusing (and harder to Google), 5GHz WiFi has its own history of contention with U.S. military spectrum use [0]: >In 2007, the FCC (United States) began requiring that devices operating in the bands of 5.250–5.350 GHz and 5.470–5.725 GHz must employ dynamic frequency selection (DFS) and transmit power control (TPC) capabilities. This is to avoid interference with weather-radar and military applications [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels#United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels#United_S...
