ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a system and apparatus for tracking a target object, such as a person or an animal, using at least one of a global positioning system (GPS) satellite network, a cellular network, a radio frequency network, a telephone network, and a computer network using a multifunctional transceiver carried or mounted on or by the target object being tracked. The transceiver may be configured for mounting on or integrally a belt or collar worn by the target object being tracked. The transceiver may relay position and/or location information of the transceiver, and ultimately the target object being tracked, to a remote user.
