The whole point for frequency hopping is to help prevent interception.
Switching IP addresses does not prevent interception over a corporate
network since a sniffer would pick up anything on the wire.  Who cares
whether the IP addresses change there are other things in the IP header
that could be used to piece together a connection in a trivial manner.  If
you did try to run this over the Internet you probably wouldn't be able to
use a firewall or IDS so you would be trading proven security technologies
for a fancy piece of NAT.  This whole product is a pointless bit of FUD.
It doesn't protect anything.  Why not just run an RF network with frequency
hopping instead of ethernet or ATM or whatever and use frequency hopping in
a median where it means something.

Jeffery Gieser
