I am not sure if the cost compared to productivity can keep up for this cpu,
but it is your business.

I just wonder why one would do that, but it is again your business. Nowdays
all of this communication is encrypted and you have virtually no chance
listening to this. In most of the countries it is even illegal, but ok, one
can do things for fun anyway - braking the encryption though is close to
impossible.
The communication follows well defined protocol, so knowing it, you might be
able to read the frames, but the content will remain hidden.
