NTC-140 GPS Week Roll Over Patch
Doc No. FR01158
Important notice
This device, like any wireless device, operates using radio signals which cannot guarantee the transmission and reception of data in all conditions. While the delay or loss of signal is rare, you should not rely solely on any wireless device for emergency communications or otherwise use the device in situations where the interruption of data connectivity could lead to death, personal injury, property damage, data loss, or other loss. NetComm Wireless accepts no responsibility for any loss or damage resulting from errors or delays in transmission or reception, or the failure of the NetComm NTC-140 Series router to transmit or receive such data.
Safety and hazards
Warning – Do not connect or disconnect cables or devices to or from the USB port, SIM card tray, Ethernet port or the terminals of the power connector in hazardous locations such as those in which flammable gases or vapours may be present, but normally are confined within closed systems; are prevented from accumulating by adequate ventilation; or the location is adjacent to a location from which ignitable concentrations might occasionally be communicated.

Release history
v1.2 – Initial release
Enhancements
The Global Positioning System provides positioning fixes and timing
information to GPS receivers (such as the MC73xx module). The timing
information includes a ‘week’ component represented as an integer value from
0–1023. This value will ‘roll over’ on 03 November 2019. As a result, the time
reported to customer applications by MC73xx modules will be incorrect. (Note:
Positioning fixes will not be affected.)
This patch ensures that the time reported to applications is correct.
