This chip is a Cell Phone Radio mostly for the 2 to 4 GHz band. The announcement below is a press release for the rollout of the chip to cell phone manufacturers. The technical specifications are probably proprietary and any development boards, if any, will probably be only for licensed developers, translation; “for those who can afford it.” To HACK this device would require sophisticated Laboratory equipment, again, it is all about money.
