There you go.

Thank you.

And how basically it doesn't work anywhere, as per some article that we had talked about several episodes ago.

Well, Ubiquiti in the last couple of weeks has debuted a new product called Airwire.

And their release video, their trailer, if you will, and they do this for both software and hardware, their trailer basically said nobody could use MLO, particularly because the clients were always trash.

And what we're going to do is we're going to have our own Wi-Fi client that you then plug into via Ethernet, if I'm not mistaken.

So the literal quote from the video is, the infrastructure was ready.

Now the clients are.

And so there's also a blog post about this reading from the blog post.

Nearly every Wi-Fi 7 client today advertises MLO compatibility, excuse me, capability, yet they only use one link at a time.

Instead of combining bands through simultaneous multi-radio operation, they simply switch between them.

Airwire, this new product, is a plug-and-play USB-C Wi-Fi 7, I'm sorry, it's not Ethernet, it's USB-C, Wi-Fi 7 client engineered for true simultaneous multi-radio performance with STR-MLO.

It operates independently on 5 GHz and 6 GHz at the same time, aggregating spectrum instead of alternating between bands.

The result is a real multi gigabit throughput, ultra low latency and improved connection resilience.

That's exactly right.

Yeah, I would say this thing looks, and it's hard to get a good idea of scale, but it looks to me like the Mac minis that we had up until the most recent release with like a flap on the top like John described.

No, yeah, that's a better analogy.

Yeah, I would say that.

Anyways, it does look cool, but I agree with Marco, probably not for you or me.

Now, a lot of you are probably already firing off emails to us because we said in the beginning of the show that we stand with Ukraine, and yet we are also talking positively about ubiquity.
