It must be compatible with Windows 10 or later, support both single and multi-antenna systems, and ideally work with Android devices. Additionally, it should produce open-format files (.csv, .txt) compatible with Microsoft Excel and Access, include all future updates in the purchase price, and allow remote access via cellular and satellite modems.
