What is GPS Asset Tracking?
Cellular networks typically synchronize radio signals to the location of wirelessly connected communications devices with the aid of Global Positioning satellites. This location-awareness now enables enterprises to electronically track the whereabouts of a variety of assets, including people, livestock, equipment, shipments, vehicles, and more. A small tag that can be detected by the network base station is affixed to the asset, and its movement can be tracked on a web-connected control panel such as one displayed on a computer. This implementation does not require line-of-sight transmission and hence can be used for indoor and outdoor asset tracking.
