I have a document similar to 1678's whitepaper which lays out the 2338 system, pm me if you're interested and I'll be happy to share it.

I've asked our two tech leads to weigh in on this. Our system is a less expensive approach than 1983's (whom we're in discussions with), and we were able to get away with only two data SIM cards by using Bluetooth. The year before we used an even less expensive wire network approach. (You can see our previous whitepaper on that system.) It was less reliable, but was about half the cost.
