Can this radio be run remotely?  I called the company and the told me it was not designed to....there is no network connection?

Yes, easily. You will need a PC to act as server to be connected to the radio via its USB cable.  The bothways audio and CAT control signals will flow over this cable. 

You will need to load client software on your remote PC.  This is all available free of charge from:

If you wish to control the rig from your Android phone the app is $10 in the app store.

These clients/server will also control switches (antenna is one idea) Rotors, (if equipped) and amplifiers.

full control of the rig, full xmit and receive audio, and full control of who can operate it (security)

Whomever you reached at Yaesu is uninformed or didn't understand the question.

Here is a 991 that I just got done playing with in California.  N6DZA remote

This is what the PC interface looks like

I guess W1RNY went SK?  Sorry we couldn't get the information to you before you died. RIP

I just love posters that ask technical questions, they get prompt answers, and you never hear a peep from them. Makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.

Do you know what the internet bandwidth requirement is at the server side?  I am thinking of setting up the software at a couple of remote locations where the upstream bandwidth for the internet connection is quite limited, about 500 kilobits/second....i.e. 0.5 megabit.
