Abstract: A container security system includes a container chassis and a closure subsystem coupled to the container chassis. The container chassis may define a container volume configured to house a material. The closure subsystem may include a closure chassis, a closure security subsystem, a first communication interface, and a security engine. The closure chassis may be configured to limit a removal of the material from the container volume. The closure security subsystem may be configured to detect a tamper event experienced by the closure chassis and generate a sensor signal based on the detected tamper event. The security engine may be configured to receive the sensor signal indicating that the closure chassis has experienced the tamper event. The security engine may be configured to provide, via the first communication interface and based on receipt of the sensor signal, a notification that the closure chassis has experienced the tamper event.

Abstract: A container security system includes a container chassis and a closure subsystem coupled to the container chassis. The closure subsystem includes a closure chassis that prevents movement of a material between a container volume and an exterior of the container chassis via an aperture defined by the container chassis. The closure subsystem includes a closure security sensor that generates a closure sensor signal when the closure chassis experiences a tamper event. A first type communication interface is housed in the closure chassis and a security engine provided by the closure subsystem receives a sensor signal indicating that the closure chassis has experienced the tamper event. The security engine then provides, in response to receiving the sensor signal and using the first type communication interface, a notification to a corresponding first type communication interface that the closure chassis has experienced the tamper event.

Abstract: A container network includes a first container system that includes a first container first type communication interface, and a second container system that includes a second container first type communication interface. The second container system communicatively couples to the first container first type communication interface via the second container first type communication interface to form a first container-to-container connection. The second container system performs an exchange of election information of the first container system and second container system with the first container system via the first container-to-container connection, and elects, based on the election information, a second container second type communication interface included on the second container system to provide container network communications to a wide area network.

Abstract: A tracking device for a track and rescue system that wirelessly couples to a control system via a first link established between a control system first type wireless communication interface coupled to the control system and a tracking device first type wireless communication interface included in the tracking device when the tracking device first type wireless communication interface is within range of the control system first type wireless communication interface. The tracking device determines that a first predetermine time period has been satisfied, and in response, determines location information for the tracking device using the positioning system. The tracking device sends, in response to the first predetermined time period being satisfied, an alive signal to the control system via the first link, and the alive signal includes the location information.

The control system then determines whether the first signal from the tracking device indicates a rescue event and processes, in response to determining that the signal from the tracking device indicates a rescue event, instructions associated with the rescue event.

Abstract: A receiver device for a track and rescue system that monitors, via a receiver device first type wireless communication interface coupled to the receiver device, a physical environment for beacon signals provided by a tracking device first type wireless communication interface provided on the tracking device. The receiver device detects, via the receiver device first type wireless communication interface, a beacon signal and determines a direction from which the beacon signal is being transmitted. The receiver device performs a first action based on the direction from which the beacon signal is being transmitted. The receiver device monitors, via a receiver device second type wireless communication interface, the physical environment for alive signals from a tracking device second type wireless communication interface provided on the tracking device. The receiver device detects a first alive signal and, in response, performs a second action.
