1. A location tracking system comprising:
a wearable device comprising:
at least one sensor;
at least one processor;
circuitry configured to wirelessly send and receive beacon signals through the use of Bluetooth® Low Energy;
circuitry configured to receive satellite-based location signals from a global positioning system (GPS); and
at least one antenna configured to be placed in wireless signal communication with a Long Range Radio Frequency (LRRF) modem;
a plurality of beacons each of which is configured to be in signal communication with the wearable device and with one another the latter of which through formation of a beacon-to-beacon communication chain; and
a wireless transmitter in signal communication with the wearable device, wherein the at least one sensor, at least one processor, the circuitry configured to wirelessly send and receive beacon signals through the use of Bluetooth® Low Energy, the circuitry configured to receive satellite-based location signals from GPS and at least one antenna of the wearable device are cooperative with one another such that data that has been acquired by at least one of the at least one sensor, the circuitry configured to wirelessly send and receive beacon signals through the use of Bluetooth® Low Energy and the circuitry configured to receive satellite-based location signals from GPS is exchanged between the wearable device and at least one of (i) the plurality of beacons, (ii) the wireless transmitter and (iii) at least one of a central processing unit or a mobile computing device.
