There’s a lot of hidden cost associated with supporting legacy features/standards/technology

Do they have different frequencies? Require different antennas?

Are there cost implications for radios / amplifiers? Do ASICs support only newer modes? How much obsoleted / legacy HW is required?

Are more licenses required? Or other regulatory impacts?

What a blast from the past

It’s what the models are trained on.
