First Claim
1. A remote asset management system comprising:
- at least one programmable wireless module, each having an antenna and an identification module and configured to communicate via a radio communication protocol;
a plurality of assets each linked to one of the programmable wireless modules;
a remote system server service platform configured to receive remote asset data from at least one of the programmable wireless modules, send messages to at least one of the programmable wireless modules, monitor the programmable wireless modules by requesting and receiving current mode information, and remotely program the programmable wireless modules to control an operational status of the linked assets; and
a data processing module located within the at least one programmable wireless module and configured to process at least one message received by the programmable wireless module, authenticate whether said at least one message was sent by a permitted server service platform, analyze authenticated messages, and carry out asset management instructions included in the at least one message, thereby controlling the operational status of the linked asset.

Abstract
A remote asset management system comprising a network of programmable wireless modules, each having an antenna and an identification module and configured to communicate via a radio communication protocol. The system further includes a plurality of assets each linked to one of the wireless modules and configured to be managed by the linked wireless module. A remote system server service platform is configured to receive remote asset data from the wireless modules, pass the remote asset data to and from the wireless modules, send messages to at least one of the wireless modules, monitor the wireless modules by requesting and receiving current mode information, and remotely program the wireless modules. A data processing module located within the wireless module(s) and configured to process messages received by the wireless module, authenticate said message, analyze authenticated messages, and carry out asset management instructions included in the message.
