Possible Time Capsule & Airport Extreme update?

According to Appleinsider that Apple might be ready to update it's Airport wireless product with dual spectrum to solve one of the problem of supporting different wireless product within the same network. Today a home wireless network might be supporting difference device like computer, iPhone, media server, game console IP Cam and they all use different wireless spectrum ranging from the slow 802.11b to ultra fast 802.11n. The problem with supporting multi-spectrum in one network chip is the system have to switch constantly between different radio signal therefor slowing down the overall performance of the network. With dual spectrum the low band signal like 11b/g will stay within their own channel and the 11n can operate with better efficiency.
