Abstract
Wireless tracking systems and devices to detect the status of aircraft cargo containers. The system uses a sensor array to deactivate and activate the tracking devices as needed to comply with FAA regulations. The tracking systems use an array of machine vision sensors and/or inertia (motion) sensors to determine when to activate and deactivate the device. The tracking systems can feature LTE communication devices with a global roaming SIM card to realize true global operation to support GSM, CDMA and other mobile environments seamlessly.
