A wide-area remote telemetry system which monitors and controls remote devices by means of a information control system. The system uses a plurality of sensor interface modules which constantly monitor devices for triggering events. The sensor interface modules transmit information to at least one data collection module which gathers, process, stores and transmits information to a host system via standard external communication systems. The host module receives, records, processes, and transmits information to the network. The information may then be transmitted to customers or may be accessed by customers as desired.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A method for a wide area remote telemetry system, comprising:receiving information from a sensor;interpreting information from the sensor;storing the information into memory for future updates;generating a first signal of the information to a data collection module at random intervals based on the number of inputs received from the sensor;transmitting said first signal through a frequency chosen from a collection of frequencies by a hopping algorithm;scanning the transmission frequencies for the first signal;detecting the first signal;receiving the first signal;storing the first signal information into a data table;sending a second signal of the information to a host;receiving the second signal at the host;verifying the second signal;compiling the second signal information;checking the second signal information against an assignment list for primary responsibility assignment;if no assignment has been made, then relaying primary responsibility information; andnotifying a customer of alarm conditions if necessary.
