I believe fargus was actually referring to the radio-modems we used to use way back when. They were made first by Motorola and then by IFI. They used hobby radio frequencies. While they would "boot" faster than you could walk off the field they also had numerous operational issues that people tend to forget, Including being susceptible to outside interference and having groups of frequencies that could not be used together.
