Abstract: A system and method for remotely signaling a vehicle. The system comprises a pager unit for receiving a wireless communication and for generating a first signal in response to receiving the wireless communication, the pager unit being located in the vehicle. The wireless communication is transmitted by a transmitter to a central switching unit, and from the central switching unit, the wireless communication is relayed through a satellite to the pager unit. The system also comprises a tripping circuit, responsive to the first signal, for generating a second signal, and a switch, responsive to the second signal, for causing an action in the vehicle. The method comprises transmitting a signal by the transmitter to the central switching unit. The signal includes a remote location pager number corresponding to the pager unit and a predetermined security code.
