Goods in Transit - ECTS, Option 1 – Local hosting environment
• the tracking of the vehicle within Country A only • Each country have their own infrastructure, software, tracking units and e-seal • All trips are tracked and monitored independently by the control authorities of respective country

Cross Boarder ECTS, Option 2 – Local hosting environment
Seamless tracking across two countries • Each country will need their own infrastructure and server set up, but a link is established between the two
systems to enable interactions and information/data exchange • Only start details will be shared with the system in country B once the truck is armed and ready for departure
in A. • Tracking device and e-seal will follow the truck during its trip from start in country A through end station in B

Cross Boarder ECTS, Option 3 – Cloud hosting environment
A secure cloud hosted application and database would enable instant sharing of data • Commonly hosted system would eliminate the need for complex infrastructure for both Country A and for
Country B • All expensive investment on infrastructure and maintenance is removed from both country A and country B • Access to data will be given only to the control authority in the respective country where the vehicle is active • Backup routines, redundancy and co-locations are already taken care of and the system is monitored by
professionals 24/7 www.etstrack.com
