I'm assuming you are talking about GPS when you say "satellite." RF tracking can be directional. It takes three RF receiver stations to triangulate the position of an RF transmitter and is usually less accurate than GPS. RF is also more limited by range, so the RF tracking stations are usually required to be mobile depending on the strength of the transmission signal.

How does freight tracking work?
Freight tracking works by electronic scanning. The parcel or package is first scanned in the post office where it begins its journey then it is scanned again when it reaches its destination post office and is placed in the mail carrier truck and delivered to your door step. While in route gps tracking satellites can tell you where your package is at which leg of the trip because the post office trucks and planes are all liked to the satellites.
How does tracking devices work?
by broadcasting a radio signal. The signal is picked up by a minimum of 3 satellites, which by triangulation can determine where the signal is coming from.
