That’s Thread. Matter is an application layer standard, which currently supports running over WiFi, Ethernet or Thread.

Matter could run over new wireless systems in the future.

Ah, my bad, forgot about the threads thing. :)

Besides that, Thread is pretty low-bandwidth and low-noise. It's designed to sip battery life from devices.

2.4Ghz just allows it to be built into tons of devices without an extra chip. Every Google Hub, Alexa, or Apple hub supports it.

It builds on IPV6, so any medium capable of transporting IPV6 can potentially be used.
