in the 5GHz band the channels are much wider and there are many more of them. In cities, the 2.4Ghz band is very crowded. At my place I can see 9 access points in 2.4GHz who share 3 channels and 2 in the 5Ghz band which share dozens of channels.  You can see this by this command:

/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/A/Resources/airport --scan

That's an awesome command!  In my University environment, I currently see 32 access points, all but two of them are 2.4GHz. So the 2.4GHz channel space is quite crowded. As I have a half dozen demonstration-type device pairs, I will forgo the 2.4GHz channels and assign the first 3 device pairs on channels 40,44,48 and the other 3 pairs on channels 149,153,157 and see how that works. None of this is meant for production, just proof-of-concept.

Thanks for all the great info!
