It seems to me you missed the "can be inserted by the manufacturer" portion of the article. Doesn't require physical access, just that they purchase a compromised machine.

Also secured facilities generally monitor for things like unauthorized WiFi access points and clients.

Did the article say these devices use WiFi, or do they use something else?

They discuss range measured in miles, so I don't think wifi would fit the bill.
