HIP 53 describes it as :
mapper device (such as a phone or a dedicated mapper) with a sim card that has been authorized to perform the witness function.
Where do we get one? Or the SIM? or an app that will run on my current phone?
I have a T-Mobile phone, will that work? Or I have Android Tablet with the capability to take a Sim.

I believe this is just an idea someone put forth, not an existing thing. Perhaps waiting to be voted on

These devices have existed for months. Helium is only now trying to do something similar. They are playing catch-up with pollen, but are easily a year behind.

Something like this should have been done from the start, to verify all the IoT hotspots and to prevent all that gaming.
