Um. Sounds like a honeypot. Presumably running on the same bandwidth as the
production network (should work, but surely would interfere with Production
systems?)
The GPS thing sounds like complete BS, though - how can a radio receiver
calculate position of something that is physically in a different
location?!?
Interesting idea, though..
