1. A smart frame for a vehicle registration plate, the smart frame comprising:
an electronics assembly comprising:
a global navigational satellite system (GNSS) module configured to receive a GNSS signal including data pertaining to a current geographic location of the smart frame;
a cellular communication module configured to transmit a cellular signal including the data pertaining to the current geographic location of the smart frame; and
a motion detection device configured to detect motion of the smart frame and, in response to detection thereof, output a signal which results in the GNSS module activating to receive the GNSS signal, wherein the signal which results in the GNSS module activating to receive the GNSS signal causes the GNSS module to transition from a lower power state to a higher power state, in which higher power state the GNSS signal is received by the GNSS module.
