Nanotechnology in glorious Kharkov. A bit about GPS

Dear friends, maybe this will be a boomeran. But I can not keep myself. Looking through my friend in LJ I came across a completely destructive news. I hope local officials do not read Habr and will not use the idea. A fascinating example of cutting a budget is the GPS system in ... an elevator. I suppose so that the evil terrorists would not hijack the elevator. In principle, the very topic of monitoring lift equipment is acute. This and vandals, spoiling the cabin and pulling it using the elevator for other purposes. And lovers of nonferrous tsvetmet, deducing elevator failure. But you can monitor and using the cable channel. And, considering the home local area networks in large cities, a simple web server on a microcontroller is more than able to cope with this task. I find it very interesting - how will communication with the satellite be realized in the elevator shaft, indoors?
Let me quote a little article, hold on tight to the chairs:

City Council officials will ask the Cabinet of Ministers 100 million hryvnia to upgrade the city's elevator facilities. They want to upgrade the elevators and install GPS navigators in them.
As deputy city mayor Andrey Paramonov reported at a meeting of the executive committee of the city council, a pilot modernization project was developed at the mayor’s office. According to him, the current dispatch system is imperfect. They say that communication with dispatch points is provided by wires, attackers cut them out and steal elevator equipment.
According to the mayor of Gennady Kernes, the GPS navigation system will allow you to better monitor the safety of elevators. In addition, innovations will save energy consumed by elevators. According to the mayor, if this initiative is supported in the Cabinet of Ministers, in the future it will be possible to lower the tariff for using the elevator. Kharkiv officials will be asked to pay 100 million hryvnias from the state budget for the implementation of the program.

The thought stopped, the strength to laugh anymore. Original pizdetsa articles can be found here . It remains to believe and hope that our officials will not come up with this ...
