I wonder if it could work in the USA.


A different GPRS module would be required for US frequencies.

Digital
signal coverage is sparse in wilderness areas here. I've also

noticed
that even in areas with coverage, GSM signals can't be received

much
over 5000 ft AGL, whereas analog cell signals work to at least 18K.
Base station antenna technology must have improved...

How about something like packet radio? I understand the ARRL has a

pretty
widespread network.
