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.

Abstract: A method and system for supporting communication through a satellite and/or satellite-based network with a remote ground transceiver, through a user interface which is available to the end user through the Internet. The present invention preferably provides such an interface as a Web-based interface, through a Web server. According to a preferred but non-limiting embodiment of the present invention, communication from the remote ground transceivers may optionally include an alarm message and/or other information about the status of the remote ground transceiver and/or associated ground asset.

Abstract: A system and a method for enabling communication between a remote ground transceiver and a satellite to be controlled through a distributed network such as the Internet. It should be noted that “control” also includes monitoring such communication. The user is optionally and preferably able to control communication through a Web browser as an interface. The Web browser is connected to a Web server, which in turn is in communication with the satellite. Optionally, the Web server is able to communicate with the satellite through a ground station, although alternatively, communication is performed through a particular implementation of a ground transceiver.
