Router location based on cell tower triangulation

Product Discussion Feature Requests
1

Hello everybody,

My company is planning to use the MAX-BR1-ENT router as their standard in all our Maritime applications.

While using IC2 I noticed that the location of the router is only automatically determined if a GPS antenna is connected. Since I’m not in the position to install an extra GPS antenna I was wondering if it is possible to get a rough location via cell tower triangulation? I couldn’t find it in the settings menu so I’m wondering if it is supported. I have seen this on models from other vendors and it gives us enough information on global movements.

If it is not available, can I then make this a feature request?

Thanks for any and all help.

Regards,

Lars

Hi Lars,

Currently we don’t have such feature in IC2, but it should be flexible to implement, I’d raise a feature request and see if we can fit it into Q3 or Q4 2020 release.

Hi Billy,

Thank you for your reply.
Just to make sure. Do I need to do anything to make this a feature request or are you picking this up.
Many thanks.

Hi Lars,

Sorry for late reply, you don’t need to do anything, it’s already in our feature request list and just waiting for a time slot.

Just stay tune.

Hi Lars,

The feature is lining up in the next implementation plan, but since we just roll out a new release and we haven’t finalized the upcoming implementation plan yet, I will let you know when I have any update.
