More wireless in airplanes stuff

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?

Open up the hub and look inside. Then look at a spool of wire.

You *still* have to have a hard wired router. Not much difference. You
could argue less complexity for the wireless, because you don't have to have
a separate port for each device.

The technology to implement wireless is very complex.
However most of the technology is embedded at the chip level.
The users never see the complexity. For the users its plug and play.
From an electronics designers point of view. I am a EE I should have
made a disclaimer up front.

But it is true, that the construction of said complex chips has been worked
on, until the level of reliability is quite high, correct?
