Method and apparatus for accessing medical asset data
First Claim
1. A wireless communication system, comprising:
- a programmable interface coupleable between a device and a transmitter, the interface being operable to receive device data from the device and to provide user-configurable data to the transmitter; and
a programming station selectively coupleable to the interface to enable a user to program the interface to provide the user-configurable data to the transmitter.

Abstract
A wireless communication system to obtain data from a medical asset, such as mobile equipment. The system utilizes a transmitter coupled to a programmable interface. The programmable interface is, in turn, coupled to a device associated with the asset. The device or application communicates data about the asset to the interface. The interface is programmed by a user to communicate with the device and couple the data to the transmitter in a configuration selected by the system user. The transmitter is operable to transmit the information to one or more antennas of the wireless communication system. The information from the antennas is coupled to a cell controller and to an information system.
