Re: [OT] MiniPCI GPS and GSM card for router

And of course, GPRS to access mail and for an alarmsystem is enough. With gpsd, you could share the GPS engine's output with all the machines on your LAN. Likewise a GSM modem often looks like a PPP connection, so it could be shared as well... The MobilOffices can be deplaced with a standard Truck and if someone try to steal one, I am fscked since the value of a MobilOffice is NOT under 60.000 Euro. But of course, I do not like to wast money by installing 350 Euro GSM and GPS Hardware in each MobileOffice where simple ones are enough...

I know the USB one and they cost around 59 Euro in germany and I was thinking to get MiniPCI models in the range of 60-80 Euro to build a more compact router with integrated alarmsystem since it has its own internal power supply with battery backup 12V/9A (=108W)... Since the VIA EPIA LN1EAG can go into sleep modus (consuming arround 100mW or less) and can be woke up by a GSM-Modem event... ...in case someone has stolen my MobilOffice or things equivalent. The internal battery backup can support the power for the router for several weeks.

(Used cards are welcome too) The second thing is, that I need a NMEA compatible GPS card. The one I have currently choosen is a GPS Engine Board NL-954M but it cost 120 Euro which I not realy like to pay, since I need 8 of them. Do you really need so much redundant hardware?
