US Classification:
34053913
Abstract:
A system and method for asset tracking and monitoring using antenna diversity. Antenna diversity ensures that the mobile terminal maintains good visibility of a satellite throughout the transport route. In one example, a first antenna is mounted on a first side of an asset transporter (e. g. , flatbed trailer) and a second antenna is mounted on a second side of the asset transporter. A selector/combiner in the mobile terminal enables multiple antennas to be leveraged in the satellite communication process.

International Classification:
H04W 24/00 H04W 40/00 H04M 1/00
US Classification:
4554561, 4555521, 455428
Abstract:
A system and method for satellite aided location tracking and data services using geosynchronous (GEO) and low earth orbit (LEO) satellites with global locating system. In one embodiment, a mobile terminal is designed for communication with both GEO and LEO satellites. This dual satellite functionality enables the asset tracking service to provide service across international service areas without hardware modification or reconfiguration of the mobile terminal device.
