Zusammenfassung:A device including a microcontroller and an antenna for capturing power during one or more energy harvesting cycles. The power is transferred to a power storage of the device such that when the power storage has an amount of power the microcontroller performs processing for tracking a location and a condition a package to which the device is attached. The device further includes a transmitter that uses instructions from said microcontroller and said captured power from said one or more energy harvesting cycles. The transmitter is configured to communicate over a network the location and the condition of the package to a remote compute. When the device and package move along one or more geolocations, said device uses said one or more energy harvesting cycles to communicate to the remote compute updates for said location and condition of the package.
