'5G vs Wi-Fi' offers a comprehensive exploration of modern wireless connectivity, delving into the complementary relationship between cellular 5G networks and Wi-Fi technology. Rather than positioning these technologies as competitors, the book presents them as distinct solutions optimized for different scenarios, each with unique strengths and applications in our increasingly connected world.
Through a systematic analysis, readers learn how these technologies serve various needs while occasionally overlapping in capabilities, from smart homes to industrial automation. The book progresses through three main sections, beginning with technical foundations and architectural principles, moving to performance analysis of speeds and reliability, and culminating in practical applications and use cases.
Real-world examples and case studies from multiple industries illustrate how these technologies are deployed across smart cities, healthcare facilities, and industrial IoT applications. Technical specifications from IEEE and 3GPP standards, along with actual network deployment data, provide concrete evidence for the book's analyses.
Written for both technical and non-technical readers, this resource maintains an objective stance while addressing crucial aspects of network security, deployment costs, and maintenance requirements. The inclusion of decision matrices and planning guides makes it particularly valuable for IT professionals and business decision-makers evaluating connectivity solutions.
By examining current implementations and future developments like Wi-Fi 7 and advanced 5G features, the book serves as a practical guide for understanding and implementing modern wireless networks.
