A VoIP communicator utilizes an ultrawide band frequency, sufficient to
determine a location of the communicator to within 1 meter, 0.1 meters,
or less. The communicator preferably includes a display screen that
displays a rich colored asset map. Several novel software functionalities
are contemplated, including: (a) reporting the location of the responder
as being within one of a plurality of business locations; (b) using
scalar vector graphics to display the locations with varying degrees of
detail; (c) displaying replay of movements of the assets; (d) displaying
utilization profiles of the assets; and (e) coordinating the locations of
the at least some of the assets data from a global satellite positioning
system (GPS). It is still further contemplated that the inventive system
can consolidates output from different types of nominally incompatible
equipment.
