well, yes, that was exactly one of the things it was designed for...<br><br>On the way to Dayton recently, we (Mark K7IZA, Hans AE6TV and I) had exactly that..

Its low power consumption (72ma @ 12VDC), small size, and general<br>ruggedness, not to mention its very simple requirements for Internet connectivity (including<br>its ability to be behind any number of NATs, etc) make it the optimum solution for this type<br>of operation.<br><br>I highly recommend you giving this a try.

<title>Thinking out loud</title>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">I've been wanting to build a *mobile* node. On the surface, this seems pretty easy… What makes it complicated is the internet or network connections.</font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">I'm a tmobile subscriber for cell and mobile data. I decided recently to start building my mobile data carry alongs based upon a cradlepoint router, so far so good. So my T</font></span><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">mobile mobile device is comprised of a cradlepoint, and their 4G usb FOB. This works great for what I need it for</font></span><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">….</font></span><span lang="en-us"> <font face="Calibri">Recently</font></span><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri"> I found myself in an area where I didn't have very good tmo coverage so I grabbed a Verizon 4G lte FOB. I haven't thought about *incoming* data until working on my linking projects.</font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">This is where my mobile plan fell apart.</font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">It appears that most all of these 4G/LTE providers are going to a Natted private network on the 4G/LTE side. This isn't true of their 3G network, but is of their 4G side. Well as you might imagine if you don't have control of the NAT ad port forwarding, you can't put a server on user side of a 4G device :(</font></span><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">.</font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">BUT then I had an epiphany (probably late because everyone else is already there)…</font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">The RTCM works so well for remoting my repeater…. Why not just use it as the mobile controller and instead of running a server remotely, just run an RTCM remotely back to a server. I think this will solve my problem. And perhaps make this even simpler to deal with along</font></span><span lang="en-us"> <font face="Calibri">with a 4G type data connection.</font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">Anyone already wandered this path and what are you using?</font></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"></span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us"><font face="Calibri">Thanks,</font></span></p>
