They apparently have preliminary approval and have started sending out labels, but as of right now there is no movement on firmware development that includes those frequencies. It sounds to me like the OOBE requirements probably make the radios perform like crap, so they are going back and forth with recommendations and tests in an effort to come up with something that will actually be usable. Other than that, we know it will be SOON (they told us back in 2013, remember??).
