cell size and coverage area
The coverage area achieved with the 2.4 GHz card type is larger than that of a 5 GHz radio card. The transmit rate is higher
in the smaller (5 GHz) cell than the larger (2.4 GHz cell). The following illustrations depict the difference in cell sizes and the
way that cell size affects coverage area.
