Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If classified primarily by wireless communication function
Machines transmitting voice/data may shift from IC to telecom equipment.
If non-specific controller categorization
General processors vs specialized controllers affect statistical reporting.
If with substantial non-volatile memory dominating
Smartcards or storage-heavy ICs classify under disc/media headings.
