Matt,

The R/C world can thank you for us releasing this system. Yes, I chatted with you about this in Buttonwillow. I had a system functioning on the bench, with no real interest in making it a commercial product. I have several companies, and R/C is just my hobby. After we chatted, I was a little ticked because I knew this works and I just hate someone telling me something is not possible. MaxStream has patents pending for the spherical technology (I would love to say I invented it, but that is not the case). MaxStream's technology is so innovative that they were just purchased (39.2 million dollars cash) last month by Digi, Inc. who will now use that technology for their clients (wireless telephones and networking). The radio is high speed with 4 times the bandwidth of the Spektrum system. We will eventually have radio modules with 8 or 10 times the bandwidth. The system is basically a wireless network, complete with virtual addresses, AES encryption, etc. The radio packets are a proprietary format. As part of the normal operation, the frequency changes on the fly (hopping) using a patent-pending technique.
