+ | A GPS receiver card (for absolute time sync and accurate frequency generation) | ||
+ | * May be based on, or just carrier card of, existing GPS/GNSS receivers, yes | ||
+ | * See the current GPS interface in dpdeaemon for the existing API | ||

+ | * allows many protocols (also known to me from balloon telemetry application | ||
+ | * ranging 150 km without special antenna (line of sight) | ||
+ | * used in remote control and logging of factory equipment (preventive maintenance) and sensors in the field | ||
+ | * thinking about making it into a AX25 mesh network | ||
