Data communication apparatus, system, and method

A method of communicating information related to an asset disposed in an enclosure to a network outside of the enclosure, comprising:

• providing a data communication system that includes
• a transceiver including active electronics, an antenna, and Global Positioning System (GPS) circuitry, disposed on an entrance port to an enclosure, the transceiver including a housing mountable to the entrance port,
• a monitoring device disposed in the enclosure that provides data related to a real-time condition within the enclosure, and
• a sensor analytics unit to process the data from the monitoring device and generate a processed data signal and to communicate the processed data signal to the transceiver, wherein the sensor analytics unit is configured to load software, communicating a first data signal from the monitoring device to the sensor analytics unit,
• processing the first data signal by the sensor analytics unit to generate a second data signal, and
• communicating the second data signal to the network via the transceiver.
