</div>Yes, it is used in quite a few AP designs.<br>

</div>Yes, many APs with hostapd have been certified for 5 GHz use in US.<br>
Though, it should be noted that hostapd does not really have much (if<br>
anything) to do with this when the driver takes care of the needed<br>
functionality. In other words, the related code may live in the kernel<br>
or in hostapd depending on which driver is being used.<br>
<br>
Numerous APs using hostapd have passed Wi-Fi Alliance certification<br>
tests. hostapd is even included in some of the golden testbed devices in<br>
the certification tests for stations.<br>
