The following link is a pretty interesting read. The American Cable Association is supporting the effort to have the FCC open up more available in the 5 GHz band for the use of consumer gateways. Doing so would make it possible for transmission rates 1 Gbps.

WoWzErS!

I'm glad the ACA is supporting the expansion of the 5 GHz UNII bands, but I'd prefer that the FCC leave the power levels as they are currently.
Raising the output power and allowing outdoor use of the UNII-1 band, as the ACA suggests, will only hasten the degradation of the 5 GHz band to the point it is as crowded and poor as the 2.4 GHz band is today.

Success Stories

I literally just came out of the testing centre having taken the CWDP exam. The certification process opened my mind to different techniques and solutions. This knowledge can only broaden your perspective. Great job, CWNP, you have a great thing going on here.
-Darren

Working through the CWNP coursework and certifications helped not only to deepen my technical knowledge and understanding, but also it boosted my confidence. The hard work it took to earn my CWNE has been rewarding in so many ways.

I want to commend you and all at CWNP for having a great organization. You really 'raise the bar' on knowing Wi-Fi well. I have learned a ton of information that is helping my job experience and personal career goals, because of my CWAP/CWDP/CWSP studies. Kudos to all at CWNP.
