Abstract: A wireless monitoring system comprises a remote asset about which data is to be collected and a wireless data-transfer device connected to the remote asset. The wireless device includes a radiofrequency transceiver and a chip having a memory for storing a plurality of subscriber identifiers corresponding to different wireless networks and for further storing logic that constitutes network selection rules for selecting one of the wireless networks to use for transmission of the data. In a GSM/UMTS implementation of this technology, the subscriber identifier is the IMSI and the chip is a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) chip or card. By using multiple IMSI's, the wireless data-transfer device connected to the remote asset may switch seamlessly between wireless networks. A new IMSI (for a new network) may be provisioned over the air to enable the device to communicate over a new network for which it did not previously have an IMSI.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system for managing remote applications running on devices that acquire, process and store data locally in order to integrate said data with heterogeneous enterprise information systems and business processes. The system allows for remotely deploying, running, monitoring and updating of applications embedded within devices. The applications acquire, store and process data about assets that is eventually sent to a centralized data processing infrastructure. The system comprises an information integration framework that integrates the processed data with data that is extracted from heterogeneous data sources, in real-time, in order to create synthesized information.
