Although technically not part of 802.11ac, these new MCS indices became official in the 802.11ax standard, ratified in 2021. 160 MHz channels are unavailable in some countries due to regulatory issues that allocated some frequencies for other purposes. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Advertised_speeds">Advertised speeds</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=IEEE_802.11ac-2013&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Advertised speeds">edit</a>]</div> 802.11ac-class device wireless speeds are often advertised as AC followed by a number, that number being the highest link rates in Mbit/s of all the simultaneously-usable radios in the device added up. For example, an AC1900 access point might have 600 Mbit/s capability on its 2.4 GHz radio and 1300 Mbit/s capability on its 5 GHz radio. No single client device could connect and achieve 1900 Mbit/s of throughput, but separate devices each connecting to the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radios could achieve combined throughput approaching 1900 Mbit/s. Different possible stream configurations can add up to the same AC number. <table class="wikitable"> <tbody><tr> <th>Type</th> <th>2.4 GHz band<a href="#cite_note-only5ghz-11">[c]</a> Mbit/s</th>
