I like the idea of a 6ghz radio and all that sweet sweet frequency it opens up but I'm torn between that and seeing a cbrs radio in the next generation of access point (in the next year). I can make what I have work right now but the DAS cellular world with a vendor neutral system plus the potential for our own e-sim lte is something we have been longing for. Of course that has many hurdles as well......
