``Thank you for your e-mail, X. This is one of the enhancements requested by APS/Wencor. The original digEplayers(tm) are equipped with USB ports.``
That`s because the originals are set of for content management on a cart.
Did you ask why 802.11A was utilized....when its not necessary for a content management process only ?
Heck if...they utilize an 802.11 protocol while the units sit in a cart....IMO...that would be a total waste...they could have used a bluetooth protocol.
You would utilize an 802.11 protocol if the devices are spread out....and ``A`` if you expect user traffic on the
network.
