Developing the Technology
We, at Fantom Dynamics, have been developing modular walkie talkie technology for the past 8 years. Starting with the original prototype based on a universal case to mount a walkie talkie to any phone. With the design complete and the funds raised, we will be able to continue further development. And, most importantly, integrate our modular walkie talkie into the MotoMods™ system as well as obtain FCC certification. This will allow us to bring to you, the consumer, this new state of the art walkie talkie.
