- unless you are in Siberia where temperatures swing outside of industrial
- range and challenge the military range, you should be fine with industrial
- grade. Modem chip makers do not typically offer chips beyond commercial
- range unless a substantial quantity at appropriately higher price is
- backing it up (to substantiate the expensive selection process).
- Corporate/industrial market oriented manufacturers are the best contact
- point, not PC superstores.
