Hmm.. interesting find Michael. It's interesting to see they are
getting (in theory) 128Kbps out of 50khz. This reminds me of Dstar's
1.2Ghz DD that did the same but out of 150Khz. That's an impressive
reduction in utilized spectrum yet these units support 2m, 1.25m, 70cm,
and 33cm! I'm curious if these units would be legal for amateur use (do
they have an IDer, etc.) and what the solution costs for both mobiles
and base stations. Maybe they would consider HAM discounts?

But I spoke with a distributor today. If you don't need mobile (the
previously reported 80mph capability), then you might also check out the
Viper SC+. It is evidently smaller, cheaper (relatively speaking!), faster,
and can supposedly do point-to-point and point-to-multipoint. It can
function as a bridge or a router. But again, don't quote me on that. I've
only skimmed the manual so far.
