Abstract
A system and method of monitoring the communications of remote devices is described. The system includes a plurality of remote devices, where each remote device has one or more sensors and a communications transceiver. A control center, which includes a historical usage database reflecting historical usage patterns for each of the plurality of remote units, analyzes the communications for each of the plurality of remote devices against the historical usage patterns for that remote device to determine when that remote device is malfunctioning or approaching a usage threshold. The control center is then operable to take appropriate corrective action in response to the analysis.
