Really cool idea and nice to see a hardware crowdfunding campaign where the hard problems have already been solved (ostensibly).<p>I love the idea of growing the network with base stations, but it raises a few key security concerns. Presumably customers would use these devices to track high value items. Is location data encrypted? How easily can an attacker listen to all the traffic on their bass station, identifying the location of all items connecting to it?<p>(P.s. hi Clancey, it&#x27;s Miles -- send me a fb message!)
