Mikrotik 802.11y Support

Are Mikrotik working on support for 802.11y ?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11y

It looks like this could be a savior for WISP’s operating in heavily congested areas.

no

May be an up/down frequency converter can help you: http://www.teletronics.com/converter3600.html

Ubiquiti’s SR3 is supported (Normis correct me if I’m wrong)

This will give you your 802.11y

check out ubnt.com for details.

There is much more to 802.11y than just simply the frequency.

The most interesting to me is:

Extended channel switch announcement (ECSA)- provides a mechanism for an access point to notify the stations connected to it of its intention to change channels or to change channel bandwidth. This mechanism will allow for the WLAN to continuously choose the channel that is the least noisy and the least likely to cause interference. This mechanism will also be used in 802.11n, which will allow devices to switch between .11y operation and .11n operation in the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands.

This is not a new thing. Think about the DFS on 802.11h or ETSI hiperlan or, again, on the new released (by FCC) frequency in USA (the same of 802.11h).
