Abstract
A system () and method () is provided for validating a location of a tracking device. The method can include monitoring () a set of signal strengths () to one or more personal area networks () and one or more cellular towers (), generating () a Radio Frequency Time Profile RFTP () from the set of signal strengths, comparing () the RFTP o coverage variation limits () of one or more pre-calibrated paths, and signaling () an alert if the set of signal strengths are not within the coverage variation limit of the one or more pre-calibrated paths. The RFTP is a time series of the signal strengths between the tracking device and the one or more PANs resulting from a change in location of the tracking device.
