First Claim
1. A system for collecting data and wirelessly providing the collected data to a remote operator, the system comprising:
- at least one computing device for initiating a request for data;
a first communications device for connecting the computing device to an infrastructure;
at least one device comprising;
a digital sampler configured for sampling at least one parameter;
at least one processor configured to collect the at least one parameter and generate data from the sampled at least one parameter, wherein the at least one processor is configured to act as a server for the at least one device and is further configured for presenting the collected and generated data in the form of web pages; and
a wireless communications device coupled to the at least one device and for wirelessly connecting the at least one device to the infrastructure,wherein the wireless communications device receives a request from the computing device and wirelessly transmits the collected and generated metering data to the computing device initiating the request, wherein the computing device accesses the collected and generated data via a software program.
