Abstract
The present invention relates generally to providing a system and method for monitoring devices relative to a user defined geographic area using an enablement platform for building web sites and web applications using data storage, management and publication capabilities of hosted web services. The system and method for monitoring M2M devices relative to a user defined geographic area (geofence) are built on existing AerCloud concepts by allowing user to define location attributes and by using the user defined location attributes to configure and evaluate geofence parameters and issue alerts if the devices are performing outside the geofence parameters.
