Not with Cisco, but I love my AP7502's <https://www.zebra.com/us/en/products/networks/wireless-lan/wlan-products/access-points/ap-7502/ap-7502-spec-sheet.html>.
The radios in that device are not programmable, but they are in their big brother AP7522, where I could have both radios in the device running 5Ghz or set one as a client for health checks. The Zebra (formerly Motorola) controller won't do this dynamically, though... at least not yet.
