Abstract: A method for configuring an electronic device comprising: (A) substantially continuously detecting motion of the electronic device using an initiating device disposed within the electronic device, the electronic device further comprising a position determining component, and a wireless communications component; (B) substantially continuously receiving at least one external radio signal by using an initially selected antenna of the position determining component; (C) if reception of at least one external radio signal is not optimized, using the antenna/power supply switch to switch radio signal path between the initially selected antenna and a subsequently selected antenna to optimize the reception of at least one external radio signal; and (D) using the wireless communications component to transmit the current status of the external/internal antenna to the position tracking station.

Abstract: An asset management system comprising: (A) a plurality of tags, wherein at least one said tag further comprises: a wireless networking transceiver (WNT), and a tag sensor configured to attach to an asset; and (B) a dual wireless communication network further comprising: a cellular network and a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN).
