I haven’t read the patent, but I’d bet my shiniest quarter that the phrase “in one or more embodiments” (or the equivalent) shows up.
When you write a patent application, you usually try to cover as many use cases as possible. But you also can’t be too vague or abstract. So you provide an “embodiment” to show how it works, typically using existing technology. Then you clarify the broad cases–so in this embodiment they use wifi, but could use other secure, high-bandwidth wireless protocols.
