Abstract
A system and method for monitoring the location and/or presence of an object/person within a desired area includes a mobile base station, a central control center, a mobile signaling device carried by the monitored object/person, and a geolocating means. The mobile base station may be transported to an arbitrary site and retains the monitored object/person within a desired area. The central control center determines the acceptability of the location of the monitored object/person and may raise an alarm condition when the monitored object/person is not within the desired area.
