Fingers crossed on that one; It's all about bandwidth... No ordinary consumer-type Internet connection would have the bandwidth necessary to handle the data rate the receiver needs. Note the 100baseT designator. They're specifying symmetrical full-duplex 100 Mbps Ethernet connectivity and using both TCP and UDP datagrams. On a local network this bandwidth (or better) is easily achievable with inexpensive hardware. Typical consumer-type (b or g) wireless networking would not meet the requirement though.

Best to inquire of the developers I guess. But it's good to see that the company is still in the thick of things. The Perseus sounds like the one to beat as of today.

The only thing that disappoints me a bit is the fact it says "intranet" and not "internet". I take that to mean it can work on a local network but not necessarily by remote control. However, I will be saving up for that when it hits the shelves. Another cool feature is the other band options. The fact it has an add-on for the FM broadcast band is interesting. I would hope that the filter bandwidth can be changed. Being able to select a narrow filter such as 100KHz and tune in small steps would be a big help for that. Add in the expected overload resistance and it's a potential winner! I wonder what the end cost will be, and how wide a bandwidth it will record? If it mentioned that, I missed it.
