Takes GPS and Cellular metrics from Conel, SmartWorkx router and write *.csv file. I used different method for parsing of each metrics as an exercise. Running Python from USB stick and writing file to a USB stick.

parse_conel_smartworkx_gps.py

# run that in start-up script
# echo "Time UTC (GPS);Latitude;Longtitude;Altitude;Satellites;Fix;Speed over ground;Course over Ground;Date (GPS);Date (router);Time (Router)" > location_report.csv
