Is it true the failed FrontRow hardware was repurposed into the Unifi door fob scanning thing/product ("Access Reader Pro")? I recall reading this somewhere, and the hardware appears to be identical:

I was absolutely floored when I saw the announcement of the FrontRow device - what a bizarre thing to have brought to market for a network hardware company. I can only imagine someone somewhere got far too caught up in the "wearable" hype a few years ago.
