Thoughtful of them to include The PoC News into their website. As mentioned numerous times, CableLabs nor WBAlliance wouldn't entertain Edgewater if they didn't have significantly better preformance then what are currently offered or marketed.

"In this paper we show that the spectrum utilization increases when it is divided into multiple narrow channels instead of fewer wide channels. This increase is very significant when the frame aggregation is disabled. We show that 8 × 20 MHz channels may offer 252 Mbps compared to only 51 Mbps in a 160 MHz channel."
I’ve posted arguments for multi-radio 802.11a/g AP STA units, we can come back and consider replacing all of those single-radio 801.11n/ac/ax APs with a YFI multi-radio 802.11a/g AP STA unit. These postings will be made over the coming weeks (because posting on the Bullboard is a small part of my life). I’ll refer readers back to a previous post. “Cable companies and, apparently, enterprises have tested YFI's multi-radio 802.11a/g AP STA unit using both the 2.4 and 5.0 GHz bands. The testing was/is done because deploymens of 802.11n and 802.11ac 802.11ax have failed to deliver the high performance expected from their appealing characteristics (e.g., 20, 40, 80 & 160 MHz variable channel widths.
Thus, the testing of multi-radio 802.11a/g 20 MHz AP STAs comprising extended service set WLANs was/is to prove that the system performs substantially better than WLANs composed of 802.11ax AP STAs for similar high-density areas and use cases.
