1. An industrial sensing network, comprising:

  • a plurality of sensors, each sensor being configured to monitor at least one condition associated with equipment deployed in an industrial complex; and

    at least one fixed aggregator configured to gather data collected by one or more of the plurality of sensors and relay the data to a user, the aggregator including;

    a local communication arrangement configured for communication with other devices deployed within the complex;

    an external communication arrangement configured for communication with devices external to the complex;

    a self-contained power source configured to power the aggregator;

    a processor programmed to at least partially process data; and

    a storage arrangement configured to at least temporarily store data;

    wherein at least one sensor is configured to at least partially process sensor measurements into data prior to transmission to the aggregator.
