A method for tracking a low-mobility asset using a long-life asset tracker, the method comprising: receiving an activation signal, the signal requesting the long-life asset tracker coupled with the low-mobility asset to activate at least a portion of a position determination system, the position determination system comprising: a radio location module providing location information at a first level of accuracy; and a navigation satellite system, NSS, module providing location information at a second level of accuracy, wherein the second level of accuracy is more accurate than the first level of accuracy, the NSS module consuming more power in operation to determine the location of the long-life asset tracker than is consumed by the radio location module; defaulting to the radio location module to perform position determination without utilizing the NSS module to extend the life of a power source of the long-life asset tracker; and broadcasting the location of the long-life asset tracker with the first level of accuracy unless a condition has been met to utilize the NSS module and broadcast the location of the long-life asset tracker at the second level of accuracy; wherein the position determination without utilizing the NSS module is performed by the radio location module sending a signal to a plurality of access points in a respective known location, and the radio location module receiving from said access points response signals indicating the location of the long-life asset tracker with the first level of accuracy; or the radio location module sending a signal to a plurality of access points in a respective known location, said signal including time information and an identifier for the long-time asset tracker; the access points forwarding said time information and identifier to a base station; and the base station determining the location of the long-life asset tracker based on the information forwarded by said access points. receiving an activation signal, the signal requesting the long-life asset tracker coupled with the low-mobility asset to activate at least a portion of a position determination system, the position determination system comprising: a radio location module providing location information at a first level of accuracy; and a navigation satellite system, NSS, module providing location information at a second level of accuracy, wherein the second level of accuracy is more accurate than the first level of accuracy, the NSS module consuming more power in operation to determine the location of the long-life asset tracker than is consumed by the radio location module; a radio location module providing location information at a first level of accuracy; and a navigation satellite system, NSS, module providing location information at a second level of accuracy, wherein the second level of accuracy is more accurate than the first level of accuracy, the NSS module consuming more power in operation to determine the location of the long-life asset tracker than is consumed by the radio location module; defaulting to the radio location module to perform position determination without utilizing the NSS module to extend the life of a power source of the long-life asset tracker; and broadcasting the location of the long-life asset tracker with the first level of accuracy unless a condition has been met to utilize the NSS module and broadcast the location of the long-life asset tracker at the second level of accuracy; wherein the position determination without utilizing the NSS module is performed by the radio location module sending a signal to a plurality of access points in a respective known location, and the radio location module receiving from said access points response signals indicating the location of the long-life asset tracker with the first level of accuracy; or the radio location module sending a signal to a plurality of access points in a respective known location, said signal including time information and an identifier for the long-time asset tracker; the access points forwarding said time information and identifier to a base station; and the base station determining the location of the long-life asset tracker based on the information forwarded by said access points. the radio location module sending a signal to a plurality of access points in a respective known location, and the radio location module receiving from said access points response signals indicating the location of the long-life asset tracker with the first level of accuracy; or the radio location module sending a signal to a plurality of access points in a respective known location, said signal including time information and an identifier for the long-time asset tracker; the access points forwarding said time information and identifier to a base station; and the base station determining the location of the long-life asset tracker based on the information forwarded by said access points.
