ABSTRACT:
A system to capture data regarding conditions in a sealed metal shipping container having: a sensor unit mountable inside the container and adapted to sense a condition inside of the container; an impulse radio transmitter receiving data from the sensor regarding the condition and transmitting an impulse radio wireless signal inside of the container; an impulse radio receiver external to the container and proximate the container, wherein the receiver is adapted to receive the impulse radio wireless signal propagating through the sealed metal shipping container, and a data device in communication with the receiver to capture the data from the sensor unit regarding the condition inside of the container.
