I think the idea is that 11ad will be opportunistic offload. For enterprise it makes a lot of sense because you have dense users and ceiling mounted APs. For home it is a little more challenging because you would need one in each room that you want to "offload" to 60GHz.
The applications where 60ghz makes sense is where you would think seriously about using a wire (where you need high bandwidth, low latency - basically a wire experience). Video streaming, gaming, that sort of stuff would be the low-hanging fruit. -Hal On Sat, Nov 12, 2016 at 8:06 AM Seth Mattinen <[email protected]> wrote: > On 11/12/16 7:04 AM, Bill Prince wrote: > > I would think that 60 GHz "might" be useful if the AP and a UHD TV were > > in the same room, and your 2.4GHz and 5GHz channels were all trash > > because of close proximity of neighbors. > > > > But overall, I think it would be more trouble than most consumers can > > deal with. > > > I've been using a 60GHz HDMI bridge for several years between the AV > gear and the projector.
