Location tracking power cord and method therefore

摘要

A location tracking hospital grade power cord and method therefore is taught in the various embodiments. The hospital grade power cord includes a location module housing having a location circuit board therein. Within the location module housing, a power supply is positioned and in electrical communication with conductors extending through the cord housing. The location module housing also provides location for a communication module including a location module such as a Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite receiver and at least one cellular transceiver.
