Abstract
An asset tracking system includes a tracking device for mounting on an asset. The tracking device has a GPS receiving device for receiving GPS signals from GPS satellite transmitters. A tracking device communication device and a microcontroller are connected with both the GPS receiving device and the tracking device communication device for controlling the tracking device. Further, a tracking device management system is provided comprising a tracking system server, a management system communication device and a management system communication interface for interfacing with the management system communication device and the tracking system server. A tracking device communication link between the tracking device communication device and the management system communication device enables the tracking device management system to communicate with the tracking device. A customer communication link between a customer and the management system communication interface enables the customer to communicate with the tracking device management system.
