Hi Rory, We're not trying to hide anything, it's pretty clear to everyone this has taken longer than we expected. We hit a few unrelated compliance challenges after launching NanoBeam and all of them collectively delayed the DFS approvals.
The reason I said soon is we're waiting for an ETA on approvals now (they're at the lab now). Once we have a better estimate; we'll share with you. We're very careful about giving dates to you guys ;) At this time it doesn't look like there are any technical reasons the NanoBeams won't be approved for the other UNII bands... I know it's been frustrating for many of you -- it definitely has been for us as well. But it looks like we're almost there... We'll keep everyone updated (unless Gino sees it first).
