What is a 5.8 GHz Cordless Phone?
A 5.8 gigahertz (GHz) cordless phone is a type of phone that transmits wireless signals between a handset and base at a frequency range of 5.8 GHz. The phone is one of the more recent offerings in the cordless phone market, first appearing at the beginning of the 21st century. A 5.8 GHz cordless phone may be preferred because of its clarity. It has less competition with other products in that frequency range, and therefore often experiences less interference than phones using lower frequencies.
