This looked kind of promising, but very limited info on their website, 
especially pricing. I called and found that it ONLY works with Solid 
Optics transceivers, and once you buy it at pricing from $600 to $900, 
you then have to pay $300 per year or it becomes a (relatively small and 
ineffective for use with anything bigger than a skateboard) wheel chock.
