Cellular Setup
The Messenger supports two cellular technologies, HSPA (3G) and LTE (4G). The
current offering for HSPA is a 3G penta-band capable radio. For LTE, it is a 4G, dual-
band radio. Both of these radio options require a wireless account with a cellular
provider such as AT&T or Verizon.

Bluetooth Setup
The Messenger uses a dedicated processor for facilitating Bluetooth Low Energy
connections. The hardware offers two antenna options: a chip antenna enabled by
default and requiring no further hardware, and a U.FL connector for connecting
external antennas for the potential of greater RF performance.
