A thriving number of physical objects are being connected to the Internet wirelessly in an unparalleled manner registering the goal for Internet of Things. This paper proposed a cost effective low profile compact dual band resonant consumer monopole antenna of dimensions of 13 mm  12 mm  1.6 mm that is less than an area of a thumbnail or more or less similar to a micro-SD card. The designed transceiver antenna is easy to fabricate and capable of operating at sub C-band (3.4-3.6 GHz) for possible future fifth generation (5G) applications and 5.8G Wi-Fi (5.725-5.825 GHz) band enabling home automation facilities. The proposed design accomplishes almost omni-directional radiation pattern at the duplex bands, and the measured results are being validated with the simulated ones, which shows good agreement.
