I thought the same thing. UBNT is already trying to work the ACK out of the Airmax, was supposed to be out in the newest firmware but it's still there. So we'll see ACK gone soon already in their airmax line, which is TDMA MIMO. I'm sure someone can put their own twist on it as well for another propriety system but it would have to add a lot to what Ubiquiti is already doing to get much attention from me. Possibly as a third party open source firmware it could have a life.
