Abstract
An asset tracking unit, system, and method. The asset tracking unit, system, and method may include at least one transceiver having communicative connections with at least one SATCOM network and at least one GPS network via at least one antenna, wherein tracking information for at least one asset associated with the at least one transceiver is received from the GPS network and is communicated to the SATCOM network, a first link that provides a multi-code one of the communicative connections between the at least one transceiver and the at least one SATCOM network, and a second link that provides a multi-channel one of the communicative connections between the at least one transceiver and he at least one GPS network. The unit system and method may additionally include at least one remote operations center remote from an asset to be tracked, wherein the asset to be tracked is geographically associated with the central processing unit.

58. A non-transitory processor-readable medium storing code representing instructions to cause a processor to:
-
receive, via a multi-code SATCOM network, a first plurality of signals from a plurality of asset tracking units indicating a position of each asset tracking unit from the plurality of asset tracking units; display the position of at least one asset tracking unit from the plurality of asset tracking units on a display as indicated by a multi-channel GPS signal received at the at least one asset tracking unit from the plurality of asset tracking units; send a manipulation signal to the at least one asset tracking unit via the multi-code SATCOM network. - View Dependent Claims (59, 60, 61, 62)

63. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a transceiver configured to be collocated with an asset, the transceiver configured to establish a multi-code connection with a multi-code SATCOM network and a multi-channel connection with a multi-channel GPS network, the transceiver configured to receive location information associated with a location of the transceiver via the multi-channel connection, the transceiver configured to send the location information to a computing device via the multi-code connection; and an event monitor operatively coupled to the transceiver, the event monitor configured to monitor an event associated with the asset, the transceiver configured to receive an indication associated with the event from the event monitor, the transceiver configured to transmit the indication to the computing device via the multi-code connection. - View Dependent Claims (64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71)

72. A non-transitory processor-readable medium storing code representing instructions to cause a processor to:
-
receive, at a first computing device, tracking information associated with an asset collocated with the first computing device, the tracking information being received via a multi-channel GPS network connection; receive, at the first computing device, a status indicator associated with the asset; send, at a first time, a first signal including the tracking information to a second communication device via a multi-code SATCOM network; and send, at a second time after the first time, a second signal including the status indicator to the second communication device via the multi-code SATCOM network. - View Dependent Claims (73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79)
