Are you sure it's not: b/g/n AND a/n The N standard can actually be done on both 2.4 and 5 Ghz, but most cheap devices only do it on 2.4 Ghz. B & G are 2.4 Ghz only standards while A is a 5 Ghz only standard. That's why you end up with lots of cheap B/G/N devices. They can use the same RF circuits to support three wireless standards. If you are going to support 5 Ghz for N they usually go ahead and add support for A while they are at it.
