I like the idea of a 6ghz radio and all that sweet sweet frequency it opens up but I'm torn between that and seeing a cbrs radio in the next generation of access point (in the next year). I can make what I have work right now but the DAS cellular world with a vendor neutral system plus the potenti

I asked Cisco about what 6 GHz means for their APs and their response is: "6Hz will require new hardware for both APs and clients. We expect major chip makers to have their products ready by the end of 2020. By early 2021 we expect to see a few 6Hz capable consumer access points and high-end cl

Hi Hector, More channels in and of itself is fantastic, even if we don't bond them up into huge wide ones. As for APs being hurried out, I'm more interested in how clients will roll out. I don't have a lot of faith in certain WLAN vendors getting 6 GHz right for a while, given track records to

Now that the FCC has approved the 6GHz band, I wonder what others are doing in terms of planning. There is a lot to think about and unlike prior announcements, this one really is a game changer. Here are some thoughts: *Vendors should be rushing to make APs and make them available possibly this
