1. A computer program product for tracking asset computing devices comprising:
- one or more computer-readable storage media and program instructions stored on the one or more computer-readable storage media, the program instructions comprising;
program instructions to send an analog signal from a first computing device to a second computing device through a hardwire connection;
program instructions to determine a change between the analog signal as sent by the first computing device and the analog signal as received by the second computing device, the change being caused, at least in part, by an attenuation of the analog signal caused by a distance the analog signal traveled through the hardwire connection; and
program instructions to determine a geo-location of the second computing device based, at least in part, on the change.

Abstract
One or more processors send a signal from a first computing device to a second computing device through a hardwire connection. One or more processors determine a change between the signal as sent by the first computing device and the signal as received by the second computing device. The change is caused, at least in part, by the distance the signal travels. One or more processors determine a geo-location of the second computing device based, at least in part, on the change.
