Abstract

An apparatus and method for controlling remote carriers includes a control end and a carrier. A wireless network or wireless communication network or both is established as a fast channel to transmit control signals and monitor signals between the control end and the carrier. Signals are transmitted in an instant and interactive fashion. The invention provides a greater expandability and overcomes the distance barrier between the control end and the carrier.

Claims
