Abstract
Broadly, embodiments of the inventive concepts disclosed herein are directed to a PCB data board that allows for either a single configuration or to be deployed in conjunction with another configuration such as being able to control a radio and sending PLI (Positional Location Information) data. The PCB data board and associated code can accommodate multiple different configurations. The PCB data board may facilitate multiple radio connectivity, enhanced configuration utilities, and additional functions.
