More Information
Summary:A method and mobile transceiver for asset tracking which detects an abnormal antenna condition (such as damage or tampering which detects damage or tampering suspected damage or tampering) is provided. The mobile transceiver of the present disclosure comprises a cellular transceiver and a satellite receiver, each having an internal antenna and external antenna. The mobile transceiver detects an abnormal antenna condition, and can switch from the external antenna to the internal antenna, or vice versa, when an abnormal antenna condition is detected. L'invention concerne un procédé et un émetteur-récepteur mobile permettant le suivi de biens, qui détecte un état d'antenne anormal (comme un endommagement ou une altération en détectant un endommagement ou une altération suspectée). L'émetteur-récepteur mobile de la présente invention comprend un émetteur-récepteur cellulaire et un récepteur satellite, ayant chacun une antenne interne et une antenne externe. L'émetteur-récepteur mobile détecte un état d'antenne anormal, et peut basculer de l'antenne externe à l'antenne interne, ou inversement, lorsqu'un état d'antenne anormal est détecté.
