Field notes
The setup flow begins by naming a cluster on a root communicator, then onboarding each other device in range; the page says two radios are enough to begin. It lists communicator firmware for handhelds and link firmware for relays, with Android Live and Overlook as Bluetooth-connected wider views. The site says keys are generated and kept on the hardware, and explicitly notes that channel hopping cannot prevent determined jamming.
