GigAir vs. 5G: Why GigAir is the Better Option

The landscape of wireless internet is diverse, with technologies like MCSnet’s GigAir and 5G vying for dominance. While both are formidable in their own right, they employ different approaches, especially in rural areas. GigAir’s use of milliwave technology contrasts with the typical rural deployment of 5G. This blog explores these differences in detail.

What is 5G?

5G stands for “fifth generation,” referring to the fifth generation of mobile network technology. Each generation of mobile networks has been characterized by significant improvements over its predecessor, with 5G being the latest.

What is GigAir?

GigAir uses milliwave technology and a mesh network in communities with houses close to one another, like hamlets, villages, towns, and cities.
