Abstract
A system and method is provided for wirelessly tracking a tracking device. The subject of the tracking device may be a person, group of people or an article of interest. The tracking device receives location information via GPS and transmits the location information to a remote server via a cellular network or some other communications network. The server may be employed to identify the subject of the tracking device, change operational parameters of the tracking device and may otherwise analyze the information received from the tracking device. Based on the analysis, the server may recommend or may make changes to the operational parameters of the tracking device.
