FreeBSD on the go...

I am still plodding away at this project. Instead of focusing on the headend I am working the backend.

I used a Group29 deep cycle battery in a Marine Battery Box. Inside I placed an APU2 with Atheros Wifi and Ublox GPS module.
Using SATADOM with 90degree adapter. I have a 2TB mSATA for possible mobile NAS usage.
Using gpsd and gpxloggerd for GPS and dnsmasq and hostap on the wifi card.

Here is the antenna I just received:

I really did not want cellular antennas but for the price I had to buy it. Will mount this on a 21" long SS pipe nipple with flanges mounted to Truck Toolbox to avoid drilling into the chassis.
Battery box/APU2 located under Truck Toolbox in bed..

The stainless pipe will be a "Mast" in nautical terms. It might house more than just an antenna...
