The radio transceiver operates from 100 MHz to 475 MHz and is housed in a standard iPAQ expansion pack. The iPAQ utilizes Vanu Software RadioTM to implement all of the signal processing. The current configuration of the device supports commercial analog FM radio service, including Family Band Radio, as well as the public safety APCO 25 digital standard. Future prototypes under development include operational capabilities of up to 900 MHz and support for cellular and PCS standards such as TDMA and GSM."<br /><br />This is the start of a technology that may radically change the way we think of wireless communications.
