A shipping container tracking assembly, system, and method of manufacture are described herein. A shipping container tracking system may comprise one or more of a shipping container, a tracking assembly, and/or other components. A shipping container may have a frame holding walls to enclose a contained space. A first wall may have a wall vent with a ventilation passage therethrough. The tracking assembly may comprise one or more of a housing disposed within the contained space, electronic component(s) at least partially housed within the housing, an antenna, a conductor, and/or other components. The antenna may be mounted on the exterior side of the first wall. The conductor may electronically couple the antenna to at least one of the one or more electronic components through a conductor path defined, at least in part, through the ventilation passage.
A tracking system for a shipping container, the shipping container having walls, a door, a door frame supporting the door, and a frame, the frame including a set of posts, a set of top rails, and a set of bottom rails, the frame holding the walls to enclose a contained space, the walls including a first wall having a wall vent with a ventilation passage therethrough, wherein the ventilation passage provides fluid communication between an interior side of the first wall and an exterior side of the first wall, the tracking system comprising:
A method to modify a shipping container to include a tracking assembly with an externally mounted antenna, the shipping container having walls, a door, a door frame supporting the door, and a frame, the frame including a set of posts, a set of top rails, and a set of bottom rails, the frame holding the walls to enclose a contained space, the walls including a first wall having a wall vent with a ventilation passage therethrough, wherein the ventilation passage provides fluid communication between an interior side of the first wall and an exterior side of the first wall, the method comprising:
A method of manufacturing a tracking system for a shipping container, the shipping container having walls, a door, a door frame supporting the door, and a frame, the frame including a set of posts, a set of top rails, and a set of bottom rails, the frame holding the walls to enclose a contained space, the walls including a first wall having a wall vent with a ventilation passage therethrough, wherein the ventilation passage provides fluid communication between an interior side of the first wall and an exterior side of the first wall, the method comprising:
