A R I A 2.4GHZ VERSUS SUB-GIG (GHZ) FREQUENCIES: Sub-GHz frequencies provide superior reliability and range compared to higher frequencies, making them perfect for consistent communication across vast distances or in difficult conditions. Devices operating in the sub-GHz range, which refers to frequencies below 1 GHz, can transmit signals over significant distances and can penetrate physical barriers such as walls and buildings more effectively.
