Similarities and Differences Between Wi-Fi 6 and 5G

Posted on

I often hear debates in both professional and casual circles about Wi-Fi 6 and 5G. Which is better? What’s the difference? By the time 5G arrives, Wi-Fi 6 may no longer be necessary. It reminds me of childhood arguments over pressing topics: Who is stronger, a whale or an elephant? Who is a stronger actor, Van Damme or Schwarzenegger? My kung-fu is stronger than your karate!
