I think we need to define the requirements first. POSM works on standard hardware in a standard configuration. It's been field tested and you learn from experience.
It needs to be fairly idiot proof and unfortunately they're turning out better quality idiots all the time. It needs good simple documentation in multiple languages. Idiots have been spotted using languages other than English. I think I'd think in terms of a more powerful intel NUC than the base, the 32 gigs memory version of the NUC6i7KYK is used with POSM for drone work. I would stay with the intel NUCs based on my own experince I'd like to add email so preconfigured Postfix should be able to handle local traffic on smartphones but you also need something on the smart phone, I understand the gmail client can be configured to talk to other email servers such as Postfix. The advantage is it would store messages until the server is in range then send and receive. Postfix can be configured to call home but I'd try to think in terms of calling back to one email server across the internet and exchanging messages. These can be forwarded to other internet addresses. Finally we need a volunteer in the field to try this stuff out. A HOT micro-grant might well work here.
