That's because it was an old off-the-self civilian model. 

Current models have WiFi (WiMax is coming down the pipe), EDGE and G3.

How much steel can a 1 watt WiFi transmitter go through? For example,
until Nov 2003, WiFi and Bluetooth were illegal here. The IDF was given
$800,000,000 to replace their equipment that used those frequencies.

What does the a navy (any navy) do with them out at sea where no on cares?
