Systems and methods of remote object tracking

An object tracking device comprising:

• one or more power storage devices;
• a location determination device configured to generate location information associated with the object tracking device;
• one or more wireless communication interfaces configured to provide wireless communications between the object tracking device and an external server system;
• one or more computer-readable storage mediums configured to store:
• temperature information associated with a trailer received from one or more temperature sensors;
• and
• location information generated by the location determination device;
• and
• one or more processors configured to execute program instructions to cause the object tracking device to:
• receive configuration information from the external server system;
• implement the configuration information to, at least in part, adjust (1) a frequency of generating the location information associated with the object tracking device, and (2) an amount of power consumption per data transmission between the object tracking device and the external server system;
• monitor a power level of at least one of the one or more power storage devices;
• and
• communicate, via at least one of the one or more wireless communication interfaces, at least some of the location information and the temperature information associated with the trailer to the external server system.
