I think they made a mistake with its implementation, and just couldn't fess up - although in another post here they seem to have been quoted saying they based it on 'an unreliable protocol'.
AIR is based on UDP which is "unreliable" in the sense that it does not guarantee delivery. But no-one chooses to use UDP without knowing that and making a conscious decision about it. So it's simply disingenuous of Devialet to suggest that "an unreliable protocol" has anything to do with the unreliability of AIR.

...all of which make it completely unacceptable to me as a "solution" to the problems with AIR, as Devialet have proposed in the past.
