According to the website it doesn't have a WiFi chip at all.
I believe the transmission from the cobo vault to the mobile phone happens via scanning QR codes, and the broadcast itself is happening from the mobile.
However, a hardware wallet which claims to be extremely secure 'because of no communication channel' while at the same time using updates via a SD card, shouldn't be taken too seriously.
Without any further information about the EXACT handling of firmware updates, one could theoretically create a malicious update (spread via mobile application vulnerability for example) to compromise the cobo vault.
Note that i do not intend to say that there is a vulnerability, i am just mentioning the 'easiest' way to eventually attack this wallet (without further information about this wallet).
No wallet is 100% secure.

Looks like it's using a mobile app as the hot device to broadcast transactions to the blockchain. From what i've read, the cobo vault has no network connections or usb.

How does Cobo Vault broadcast to the blockchain? WiFi?
