- Gernot has pco2 hardware for SIAM available. We should go talk to him about how to architect the service.
- There is a strong motivation for finding a way to power manage the Medusa optics (~35% of power)

if we can reduce overhead to 2:1, we can bring all the data back vi globalstar
we need to take a look at the global-star telemetry and possibly refactor it
	- make sure that link power management is tightly coupled to SIAM app so power isn't on while link is down)
	- make sure that we are not doing stuff like waiting some arbitrary period after PPP traffic stops to power the modem down
	- generally account for all arbitrary system delays and tighten up where possible
