Maybe I don't understand what you are getting at. I put wireless in a
Gulfstream G-550. System was a short wire from the onboard server
(Part of the hight-speed data system) to the wireless hub and and
power to the hub. My other option was wires and jacks to each seat
and the cockpit from a hub. Why is wireless more complex?

I think what he's getting at is the hidden complexity... the software,
chip design, etc.

For your wireless network to work reliably, all of that has to work
properly. And it is effectively untestable by the installer and
uncertified (implying (perhaps falsely) that it is incompletely tested).
