US Patent 12069542 Redundant asset tracking

This disclosure proposes a system in which two redundant asset tracking devices are used to monitor a single asset (such as a vehicle, which may contain a group of assets in cargo) via two distinct communication systems that operate in parallel, and which may operate in addition to any primary mode of communication used by the asset tracking devices (e.g., cellular communication). In some examples, each asset tracking device may communicate through separate and distinct satellite communication networks.
