Dedicated GPS Antenna Required For Masterclock (Especially if there are two)

In Modec, there are two Masterclocks and it is found out that the time is out of sync by a second or two between the Masterclocks. This happens because GPS signal is split up in NMEA buffer, which seems to have added the latency for the Masterclocks. One solution is for one Masterclock to get the time source from the other through the sync module (additional cost), but this takes away the redundancy purpose.

Therefore, it is recommended to have a dedicated GPS antenna for the individual Masterclock without any buffer in between.

Deviate Vertical Tracking Functionality on POB Using Extronics

In Shinfox requirement for POB, the client expected that the locations of the personnal can be known with the deck level accuracy. However, in practice, the POB tag tends to jump between decks in the software based on the Wi-Fi signal received. The manufactuer recommended bluetooth beacons but still the deck level accuracy cannot be obtained with certainty.

For future projects, we are to deviate on any deck level accuracy.
