As a former Marine who worked in a secure area, off hand I'd say thats
probably not a good product to be using. If you have to use wireless (and I
don't know why you would), I'd suggest infra-red, much less chance of
interception. Of course, you could always encrypt the transmission, but I
doubt that would be practical. In general however, I'd assume that the
problems would be similiar to 802.11a&b you might want to read up on that.
Hope I'm not teaching you to suck eggs.
