Geographic locating remote endpoint monitor device, system, and methodology thereof
First Claim
1. A cellular network comprising:
- a node configured to transmit a data packet on a predetermined frequency;
a first base station configured to receive signals transmitted on the predetermined frequency;
a second base station locationally dispersed from the first base station and configured to receive signals transmitted on the predetermined frequency; and
a data concentrator, whereinthe first base station and the second base station are arranged in a cellular configuration such that a first coverage area of the first base station at least partially overlaps a second coverage area of the second base station,the first base station and the second base station each receive the data packet transmitted by the node,the data concentrator is configured to collect the data packet received by the first base station and the data packet received by the second base station, andthe data concentrator is further configured to compare an integral identification tag included in the collected data packet with integral identification tags included in other data packets stored in a database, and to store the collected data packet in the database only if the integral identification tag in the collected data packet is not duplicated in any of the other data packets stored in the database.

Abstract
A cellular network includes a node configured to transmit a data packet on a predetermined frequency, first and second base stations configured to receive signals transmitted on the predetermined frequency, and a data concentrator. The first base station and the second base station are arranged in a cellular configuration such that a first coverage area of the first base station at least partially overlaps a second coverage area of the second base station. The first base station and the second base station each receive the data packet transmitted by the node. The data concentrator is configured to collect the data packet received by the first base station and the data packet received by the second base station. The data packet includes latitude and longitude data received from a global positioning system receiver such that a location of the node may be determined from a remote location.
