Launched in 2005 for commercial use in 2006 jointly developed a container tracking system based on the integration of two key emerging technologies: an intelligent real-time tracking device, and a fully integrated network for s sensor network. USERs & “MEDIA” keen on GNSS Servises IBM and Maersk Logistics BBC to track a shipping container around the world: The Box The BBC is sticking a GPS in a shipping container and sending it around the world in order to reveal the secret lives of these giant steel packet. We have painted and branded a BBC container and bolted on a GPS transmitter so you can follow its progress all year round as it criss-crosses the globe. The Box will hopefully reach the US, Asia, the Middle East , Europe and Africa and when it does BBC correspondents will be there to report on who's producing goods and who's consuming them... We are keeping our fingers crossed the Box does not fall overboard (it happens) and that it gives us a better understanding of what ties countries and continents together.
