A system, apparatus and method are provided for intermittent location reporting. The apparatus includes a global positioning system (GPS) receiver (202), a transceiver (206), and a controller (212). The transceiver is a WiFi or WiMAX transceiver. The controller reads a current geographical location of the apparatus and determines whether communication with a location monitoring application (LMA) (312) is possible. If communication with the LMA is not possible, the controller stores the current geographical location. When communication with the LMA is again possible, the controller sends any stored geographical locations. The controller may store timestamps associated with the geographical locations. The controller may send the geographical locations to the LMA at intervals determined by predefined rules. |
