Cross-border transport
Cargo and vehicles that do not stop at a frontier, where visibility usually does.
Cross-border movement multiplies every problem of domestic transport: more custodians, longer gaps between checkpoints, and a much harder time establishing where something went wrong. Cargo that crosses a border and arrives short is difficult to attribute to any point in the chain.
Electronic cargo seals and tracking both continue to work across borders, subject to network coverage and service availability in each area of operation. That last qualifier is the honest part: coverage, not distance, is the limit on any connected device, and it varies along a route in ways worth planning around rather than discovering.
Solutions
What applies to this sector.
Vehicle tracking
Live GPS tracking, route playback, trip reports and geofence alerts for one vehicle or a fleet — with remote immobilisation where it is configured, and anti-jamming options where the risk warrants them.
Electronic Cargo Tracking System (ECTS)
Cargo and container security that adds electronic access control, GPS tracking, tamper detection and event recording to a container, so its location and security status are visible for the whole journey rather than only on arrival.
Radio communication — PTT and PoC
Two-way radio for teams that need to talk instantly: short-range radios for a site, and PoC radios that carry voice over 4G so a driver in Mombasa and a dispatcher in Nairobi share one channel.
