Abstract: Systems and methods for tracking the location of an asset may utilize wireless asset beacons broadcasting asset information/data and powered asset beacons secured relative to movable powered assets. The powered asset beacons may be configured to receive signals transmitted from the asset beacons and to ascertain a relative location between the asset beacon and the powered asset to determine an estimated location of the asset. Moreover, the asset beacons may be selectively activated based on the occurrence of a trigger event, such that the asset beacons do not wireless transmit information/data when it is desirable to limit wireless data transmissions.

Abstract: Embodiments herein provide a system and method for generating mobile mesh networks that monitor multi-package shipments. In embodiments, mobile mesh networks are created using a plurality of devices that are associated with and travel with packages in a multi-package shipment. The plurality of devices are configured to form a mesh network: some devices act as child nodes and at least one device acts as a parent node. In embodiments, the devices acting as child nodes provide information to the device acting as the parent node through the mesh network. Then, the device acting as the parent node provides information to an external device for monitoring purposes. As such, a portion or all of the packages in a multi-package shipment are monitored using the device acting as the parent node as a proxy for the packages in the multi-package shipment.
