See full text

A shipping container for detecting conditions of the container from a remote location, or sensing the condition of other shipping containers within the vicinity of the shipping container, is disclosed. The shipping container may include an onboard microserver communicating with a plurality of sensors within the container. The microserver may serve as an Internet node enabling sensed conditions within the container to be communicated to remote computing devices by way of the Internet. The shipping container also may include anti-tampering equipment such as a conductive grid such that any tampering with the container will necessarily effect an electrical parameter of the grid with the change in the electrical parameter then being detected and causing an alarm or other corrective measure to be taken.
