Hi,
While 802.11ac is the radio capabilities of an Access Point, why do we see the controllers classified as 802.11ac wave 1 and wave 2 respectively?
Will using 5508/8510 controller in the deployment prevents from using the 802.11ac wave 2 advantages of the deployed 802.11ac wave 2 Access Point?
If yes, what exactly are the features that are compromised?

Even 5508 controller, which is classified as wave 1 can have wave 2 Access Points up and operational on them. Trying to understand the reason of this kind of classification on the controller level when wave 1 and wave 2 are purely Access Point capabilities.
