-* Ideas
+Particularly for live events, we've seen too many situations in which the GSM network performance was not sufficient for reasonable commentary or even TV coverage.
+
+### Issues with data loss
+
+Trackers sometimes seem to be operated in slumber mode when they should actually serve as backup GPS recording devices which doesn't work in slumber mode.
+
+### Batteries, Energy Management
+
+The trackers need to perform some intelligent battery management. Highest priority in many cases for us is to not lose GPS position data. Second priority is to have it live with short delay. There may be exceptions such as a single medal race on a "TV Course" where live delay is all that matters. In all other cases, the trackers' energy management should rather turn off transmission in lieu of not losing data.
+
+### TracTrac Event Manager
+
+Operators during an event have major trouble understanding and fixing tracker issues. The battery status display is not trustworthy and in some modes known to be flawed. The tracker modes (aggressive, slow, slumber) isn't visible to the operator.
+
+## Feature requests
+
+High-quality trackers with short latency, high reliability, reliable energy management, transparent battery life cycle condition, high GPS accuracy with high sampling frequency, acceleration and heel sensors.
