				<A name="21"><STRONG>Question: </STRONG></A>What is "in-transit visibility'?</DIV>
<STRONG>Answer: </STRONG>"In-Transit visibility" is defined by the military as tracking the identity, status, and location of cargo, passengers and personal property from origin to consignee or destination across the range of military operations. Supply chain and logistics clients would describe in transit visibility as chain of custody of goods between two points. Thinking more broadly - one could include public transit in the definition as the movement of people in a transit system - where they are, where they make their electronic payments..hmmm - does that extend the value chain? Just asking? Can MOBILEFusion add mapping and LBS to electronic wallets and near-field RFID backend? Yes...
