      Last I checked, no. However, you can move actual radio chip off to a separate chip that is isolated by the MMU or connects through the USB bus.

      I was wondering the same thing. I thought the reason this thing has never taken off is because it’s ridiculously hard to make firmware that operates these radios.

        Exactly. It took Apple with their infinite resources and top engineers many years to build their own baseband.

          And that’s still very new. Who knows how it’ll hold up.
