a clip-in module.

That's a touch more expensive than I'd expected. But I imagine the
development costs were not cheap and it may well use a few pricey parts.

funding to obtain development units of the telco system, and take it from
there.

Yes, that makes sense. I'm sure we could put a good case together and I may
know of some commercial organisations worth approaching.
