I am running inssider on my old droid 2 global. &nbsp;It shows no 5GHz signals. &nbsp;is that because<br />
<br />
a) that model doesn't use / have 5Ghz hardware and that's why it's not showing any<br />
b) 5GHz isn't used much (yet)<br />
c) I checked in the wrong areas : )<br />
<br />
iphone v. X (solve for x) does / does not use 5GHz if it's available?<br />
<br />
Do you specificailly have to look for hardware that says 5GHz? &nbsp;Or because it is (ONLY???) 802.11a, it isn't used? &nbsp;802.11a has been around a LOOONG time, right? &nbsp;I have never really seen 802.11a hardware and then by extension is that why 5GHz is not used?

Droid 2 global and other phones - is 5GHz a common band these days?

Wireless networking is a method by which homes, telecommunications networks and enterprise (business) installations avoid the costly process of introducing cables into a building, or as a connection between various equipment locations. Wireless telecommunications networks are generally implemented and administered using radio communication. This implementation takes place at the physical level (layer) of the OSI model network structure. The key hardware components of a wireless computer network include adapters, routers and access points, antennas and repeaters.

Wireless Hardware

Wireless networking is anything related to the transfer of data between two (or more) devices without the use of a physical connection, ranging from getting advice on a new Bluetooth headset to configuring sophisticated enterprise level networks.

Network Management involves issues that are independent of specific hardware or software, including email policies, upgrade planning, backup scheduling and working with managed service providers for Desktop-As-A-Service (DaaS), Software-As-A-Service (SaaS) and the like through the use of tools, coupled with manufacturer standards, best practice guidelines, policies and procedures plus all other relevant documentation. Network management also includes monitoring, alerting and reporting, management reporting, planning for device or service updates, the backup of configurations, the setting of key performance indicators and measures (KPIs/KPMs), associated service level agreements and problem records as part of the IT Service Management (ITSM) framework.
