Haven’t heard of that company but can say one of the major issues is regarding how information is passed happens via server comms - it seems that company is implementing edge? - so data stays locally and isn’t transmitted to external parties. Depends how intense about privacy you are heh

Checking out their AIR you need a “base hub” that amplifies the signal from weaker devices (android, etc.) - cool concept but not sure how techy you are to dive into that..
