Artemis was vaporware. It never made it into the field.

Vaporware is not an accurate description. I'm pretty sure you they have manufactured hardware that you can deploy for a test deployment. Also pretty sure they're working with the military for weaponization and wireless power transmission.

They were supposed to do a large rollout with sprint, and it never happened. The technology itself was vaporware; it only worked in their lab setting.
