Can the RB5 drone be setup as a hotspot? 

For example, suppose the drone is connected to the internet via its 5G capability.  Could cell phones or laptops connect to the RB5's wifi and access the internet via the rb5 acting as a hotspot?

In theory, yes. It would require setting up the proper routing tables in Linux. Should be standard Linux configurations, though we have not tried it. If you get it to work, please report back here! :-)
