802.11AC 5GHz

Is there any movement on this in 2018?

It’s important because

  1. It’s conceivable that people will start switching off their 2.4ghz soon, i probably have only 3 devices left using 2.4ghz in my home now, and one of those is nearly obsolete. I’d envisage within 3 years I’ll be 5ghz only.

  2. The 5ghz range is superior which makes 5ghz wireless a more viable solution for more implementations. It runs throughout my house without needing any range extenders. The 2.4ghz does not.

  3. If you’re developing potential consumer products you need to design for tomorrow, today. 2.4ghz is yesterdays tech.

I’d really like to use a 5ghz chip if possible - I haven’t found anything so far…
