802.11ac Wave 2 is still in early adopter phase, but more medium and large sized customers are asking about it, so Xirrus has unveiled two new dense solutions aimed at use cases like conference centres which have large numbers of Wi-Fi users.
Lantronix says the cost to enterprise management of their wireless stacks, together with the greater difficulty of updating obsolete embedded technology, makes customers ready for a cutting edge 5G (802.11ac) Wi-Fi connectivity solution for the Internet of Things.
Xirrus brings its 802.11ac Wave 2 Wi-Fi solution, to market, and launches its new low-cost 802.11ac Wi-Fi access points, which replace, and are cheaper than, older 802.11n APs.
These have the same technology as the sixth generation products Dell announced in April, except that they have integrated 802.11ac technology.

TP-Link’s new partnership with D&H in Canada paves the way to a broader channel, will provide greater coverage for new 802.11AC wireless products.
