Well, the "air gap" here conceptually precedes WiFi technologies and refers to a physical disconnect between two separate networks. If you bring WiFi, RF and microwaves into the picture, maybe we should be talking about a plastic/lead wall gap. In other words, the "air gap" essentially exists to prevent the organisation's PSTN/VoIP network interacting with a network belonging to any other entity, be it the Internet, another organisation or even an individual. > Well, your first name is only one edit-distance away from Raja, > so can I buy some spectrum?
