  • Patent number: 6366919
    Abstract: A system for maintaining, updating repairing and monitoring remotely located communication equipment sites is described with which the sites can be managed and maintained. Data relative to each site is stored and alterations proposed for the site are automatically monitored and verified prior to implementation. Clients who own and use the sites can confirm the status of the communication equipment through a web site where the client can have access to the data while preserving the proprietary nature of the data as it relates to the client. The status of various equipment is maintained to promptly inform an owner of the site, through access of the web site, of the feasibility of a proposed change in interconnections, or power use or availability of a particular device.
