Not sure about GPS but it includes remote access via WiFi, and some of the cables on offer quote "Long Range WiFi (2 KM+)"

Why can't all my devices have 2km WiFi‽

Because you'd share bandwidth with 100k other people in a city. You'd be glad for the days of dialup.

The cables have 2km WiFi with a directional antenna (presumably on the other end), you could probably get similar range out of most of your devices if your bases station had a directional antenna, but that eliminates much of the value for many WiFi applications.
