Lee, You have Assa Abloy locks doing 5GHz? What models? Ours are 2.4 only.
BTWE, I assume you meant 11ac, not 11c hence my question.

ASSA ABLOY locks, 802.11n with 11c expected (sometime) and 802.1X. I’m not thrilled, and laid out the risks clearly, yet still here we are. But they are working fine. -Lee Lee Badman Wireless/Network Architect ITS, Syracuse University 315.443.3003 (Blog: http://wirednot.wordpress.com) From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Derek Johnson Sent: Thursday, July 02, 2015 1:33 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Wireless Door Locks Our campus planners are looking to standardize & modernize lock systems across campus, and they're drooling over my worst nightmare wireless door locks that connect to our existing wifi network. 2.4GHz only, of course. I'm against this idea for too many reasons to list (technical & security-based), but I'm curious to hear perspectives from the community. Has anyone deployed or had to support a wifi-based door lock system? What's been your experience? On the flip side, have you successfully fended off a push for wireless door locks? If so, do tell... :) Thinking back to Lee's recent drone discussion... perhaps I can get administration interested in drone surveillance instead of wifi door locks. That's an idea I could get behind...
