There aren&amp;#x27;t a ton of options there, and they aren&amp;#x27;t secret information. This sounds like they&amp;#x27;re either heavy on the vaporware side of things and haven&amp;#x27;t figured out what they&amp;#x27;re doing, which doesn&amp;#x27;t bode well for them shipping anytime soon, or they are trying to do something which the FCC isn&amp;#x27;t going to approve, which again doesn&amp;#x27;t bode well for us getting this thing on pre-order&lt;p&gt;Anyone know if they&amp;#x27;re encrypted? I&amp;#x27;m not seeing any mention of that, I think I might grab a goTenna if only for that reason</text></comment>

(or maybe it is from a technical perspective but not from a practical one).&lt;p&gt;That would assume lots of users which I feel can be problematic with a $399 price range and big form factor.</text></comment>
