A covert tracking solution from FreightWatch has been added to Qualcomm systems to offer in-transit visibility and security of loads, from individual pallets to truckloads. The service, available to carriers of high value and sensitive loads, delivers electronic freight security of cargo from its point of origin to its destination.

The devices are based on the inGeo platform which is developed and powered by Qualcomm’s CDMA Technologies division. They leverage Qualcomm’s gpsOne postion-location technology to combat theft.
