Yes we chose to build our own Bluetooth connection to enable all the other features ie, 2fas etc. Not just for firmware updates.
However we do not use a standard Bluetooth connection and built our own QuantumLink, which is a protocol that ensures the data is encrypted before it reaches any chips or devices.

We understand the more technical users want zero connectivity to be completely offline and that is something we have on our roadmap to enable in the future. Where Passport Prime will not need to depend on Envoy.
However, it is still an offline device and does not connect to the internet, with only the QuantumLink connection. Still reduces the attack vector severely than an online device or one that you would plug into the internet.
