Because the differnt LAWs in the world?
The WiFi chip must support 2.1-2.8 GHz where the UPPER/LOWER frequencies
are disallowed in 90% of the world...
Making 3 differnt WiFi chips would let the cost explode...
And of course, some of the Consumer Chips exist in Industrial/Military
grade... There is NO need to develop TWO different chips, it is only
about quality testing likefor Solar-Cells. The A-Ware goes into the
space tecnology, the B-Ware is for industrial use and the C-Ware for
standard Solar-Power Plants and Consumers...
