1. A system for managing data associated with assets, said system comprising:

  • a management computing system including a first computing unit for processing a first data set of the data, a first storage unit coupled to said first computing unit and having at least one database stored thereon for maintaining the first data set, and a first transceiver coupled to said first computing unit for communicating the first data set;

    a wireless device coupled to an asset and including a second computing unit for processing a second data set of the data, a second storage unit coupled to said second computing unit and having at least one database stored thereon for maintaining the second data set, and a second transceiver coupled to said second computing unit for communicating the second data set; and

    an infrastructure device including a third computing unit for processing a third data set of the data, a third storage unit coupled to said third computing unit and having at least one database stored thereon for maintaining the third data set, and at least one third transceiver coupled to said third computing unit for communicating the first and third data sets with said first transceiver and the second and third data sets with said second transceiver, said at least one third transceiver being operable to communicate independently with each of said first and second transceivers.
