Abstract: A wireless communication system may be used for exchanging information between all types of vehicles and to/from locations within radio range of said vehicles, where there is a need for data transfer in order to monitor and control certain functions and equipment on, within or near a vehicle. This is made possible via connection of sub-networks over a common-protocol wireless network. A system for converting between various wired data links to a common wireless link is provided. An interface translator is provided to make this data conversion possible. This translator provides a full-duplex linkage between a network that implements a wireless protocol, and an interconnected data bus, which interfaces to a vehicle measurement and control system. The homogeneous part of the system is on the wireless link side of the translator, and the customizable part of the system is on the measurement and control side of the translator.
