1. A sensor system at an asset location, comprising:
- a device having an associated sensor; and
a mobile terminal that is configured to deliver sensor data generated by the associated sensor to a remote location, the mobile terminal further configured to receive a message from a remote device via wireless communication and to communicate information based on the received message to the device, wherein the communicated information is configured to instruct the device to have the associated sensor generate sensor data for delivery to a remote device.

Abstract
A system and method for implementing a low-power local-area network for use with a mobile terminal satellite modem. This low-power local-area network enables sensors on an asset to transmit sensor data to a mobile terminal affixed on the asset. The mobile terminal reports the sensor data along with asset position information to a centralized facility via a communications satellite.
