SUMMARY
The discussion highlights the significant differences between 5.8 GHz and 2.4 GHz cordless phones. Manufacturers of 5.8 GHz phones can transmit at higher power levels, resulting in increased range compared to 2.4 GHz models. The 2.4 GHz band is congested with various devices, including Bluetooth and microwave ovens, while the 5.8 GHz band currently faces less interference. As technology evolves, the 5.8 GHz band may also become crowded, leading to the potential introduction of 10.6 GHz cordless phones in the future.
