802.11ac and Legacy Client Recommendations
At the time of this writing, 802.11ac clients are just now starting to get integrated into smart phones. Devices such as Samsung
Galaxy S4, ZTE’s Grand Memo, and HTC One and new notebooks such as the Apple 2013 Macbook Pro are some early to
market 802.11ac devices. It is expected that integrated notebooks and tablets (those devices often supporting 2 and 3 spatial
streams) will start to become commonplace.
Currently Cisco’s test bed for interoperability (for the 7.6 release) supporting the new AP 3700 has the following configuration
types.
