+/**
+ * Provides a simple broadcast radio abstraction, built upon the raw nrf51822 RADIO module.
+ *
+ * This class provides the ability to extend the micro:bit's default EventModel to other micro:bits in the vicinity,
+ * in a very similar way to the MicroBitEventService for BLE interfaces.
+ *
+ * It is envisaged that this would provide the basis for children to experiment with building their own, simple,
+ * custom asynchronous events and actions.
+ *
+ * @note This API does not contain any form of encryption, authentication or authorisation. Its purpose is solely for use as a
+ * teaching aid to demonstrate how simple communications operates, and to provide a sandpit through which learning can take place.
+ * For serious applications, BLE should be considered a substantially more secure alternative.
