1. A user equipment (UE), comprising:
- a processor;
a network interface coupled to the processor configured to enable communications via a radio access network;
a storage device for content and programming;
at least one sensor element;
a program stored in the storage device, wherein execution of the program by the processor configures the UE to perform acts comprising;
defining a geo-fence for an asset by tracking location coordinates of the UE with the at least one sensor element as the UE is moved around a perimeter of an area;
transferring the location coordinates of the geo-fence to a location aware device (LAD) attached to the asset; and
receiving a warning from a warning server when the LAD crosses the geo-fence.

Abstract
System and method of geo-fencing. A user equipment (UE) defines a geo-fence for an asset by tracking location coordinates of the UE with at least one sensor element, as the UE is moved around a perimeter of an area. The location coordinates of the geo-fence are transferred to a location aware device (LAD) attached to the asset. Upon determining, by the at least one sensor, that the LAD crossed the geo-fence, a notification is sent to a warning server operative to trigger a warning message to one or more recipients.
