Any news on 802.11ac Wave 2?

Does anyone knows if it's in roadmap for an AP?

[Sean_Hogston]

We cannot publish roadmap type of info in this forum. I would suggest you reach out to your local SE and ask for an update.

As for the bandwidth limitation there are also changes on the horizon on the wired side with things like 2.5G and 5G ethernet port speeds that will address that concern. We also have APs with dual ethernet ports as well.

Yes please can we get some kind of roadmap for the Wave 2 equipment, and some specs/pictures.

I saw a picture or two of the new 4x4:4 Wave 2 units in a Extreme presentation but have not seen any info regarding them.

I heard that there is a problem because you can't afford more than 1Gbps on copper ports and this is limitation for ap bandwidth 🙂

[Simon_Vosper]

Unlikely to be a scenario in the enterprise where more than 1Gbps is needed on the switch port to an AP, so no worries there. 
