ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a method of asset location. The method includes the step of linking at least one portable transmitter system with a selected asset. A cellular communication is then initiated from the at least one portable transmission system to an associated device controller. Primary location information representing the cellular area from which the cellular communication is made is then communicated to the device controller. A secondary location system is then initiated in accordance with the location information. The secondary location information, from the portable transmission system, is then broadcast and received into a tracking system. The method of asset location includes the steps of simultaneously monitoring a plurality of portable transmission system communications, and generating fee data representing each of a plurality of monitored portable data transmissions. The primary and secondary location information are then transmitted to a law enforcement authority in order to track the asset that is determined to be stolen.
