Locating and controlling a remote device through a satellite location system

Abstract

A system and a method for enabling a remote device to be both located and controlled, with a remote ground transceiver and a satellite, even if the remote device is mobile, such as a vehicle for example. It should be noted that “control” also includes monitoring such communication. The method and system of the present invention are particularly preferred for security systems for movable objects, such as automobiles for example; management of a fleet of powered devices, such as ships, automobiles, trucks, motorcycles, bicycles and/or trains for example; and for telemetry applications, such as for remote asset command and control for example. Examples of such telemetry applications include, but are not limited to, oil or gas pipelines, remote storage tanks or buildings, and home security applications.
