System and method for monitoring timed and temperature sensitive assets during transportation
First Claim
1. A system that provides monitoring of timed and temperature sensitive critical asset on an airplane, comprising:
- a transceiver means for communicating with a ground-based server;
a container means for maintaining that environment for the critical asset;
a communication link from the container means to the transceiver for communicating the status of the environment within the container means; and
a connector means connected to the communication link and providing a removable connection to the container means.

Abstract
The present invention provides a system that provides monitoring of timed and temperature sensitive critical assets. The system includes a transceiver means for communicating with a ground-based server, a container means for maintaining that environment for the critical asset. In addition, the system includes a communication link from the container means to the transceiver for communicating the status of the environment within the container means, and a connector means connected to the communication link and providing a removable connection to the container means. The present invention can also be viewed as a method for monitoring of timed and temperature sensitive critical assets. The method operates by establishing an onboard and an air to ground communication links. Then, the method operates by acquiring environmental conditions within a critical asset container, and transmitting the environmental conditions to a ground station.
