Abstract
There is described a system for sending, via a communication network, data originating from a monitoring of equipment in a network-inaccessible location. The system comprises a first interface device to be operated in a network-inaccessible location and comprising: sensors for monitoring a first equipment; a processor connected to the sensors for generating a data packet from the monitoring; and a local input/output (I/O) device for sending the data packet. The system further comprises a second interface device, to be displaced from the network-inaccessible location to a network-accessible location, comprising a local I/O device for receiving the data packet from the first interface device; and a network-connected I/O device to deliver the data packet via the communication network.
