What type of mobile connectivity? Bandwidth is low, latency is not an issue, and PiAware can tolerate unreliable internet, so it should work okay.

I haven’t got to a point of choosing components for this type of installation.

Any idea on what sort of dta band with I could expect for a mobile broadband instalation?

See ads-b-flight-tracking-f21/data-usage-using-flight-aware-on-a-raspberry-pi-b-t19518.html for some discussion on the bandwidth needed.

Note that the current piaware version will use less data than discussed there, as FA have added a compression mechanism.

I run one of my remote sites on a Sprint Netgear 6100D router. It uses around 600MB a month, so it doesn’t take much to remote on MBB. Not sure exactly what you are looking for, but it works just fine.
