Data communication apparatus, system, and method
First Claim
1. A data communication system, comprising:
- a transceiver including active electronics, an antenna, and Global Positioning System (GPS) circuitry, disposed on an entrance port to an enclosure, the transceiver including a housing, the housing mountable to the entrance port, wherein the transceiver is configured to communicate with a network outside of the enclosure;
a monitoring device disposed in the enclosure that provides data related to a real-time condition within the enclosure; and
a sensor analytics unit to process the data from the monitoring device and generate a processed data signal and to communicate the processed data signal to the transceiver, wherein the sensor analytics unit is configured to load software received from at least one of an upstream node and a cloud service.

Abstract
A data communication apparatus, system, and method are described. The data communication system comprises a transceiver disposed on an entrance port to an enclosure, such as an underground enclosure. The transceiver includes a housing, the housing mountable to the entrance port, wherein the transceiver is configured to communicate with a network outside of the underground enclosure. The data communication system also includes a monitoring device disposed in the underground enclosure that provides data related to a real-time condition within the underground enclosure. The data communication system also includes a sensor analytics unit to process the data from the monitoring device/sensor and generate a processed data signal and to communicate the processed data signal to the transceiver.
