Distributed remote sensing system component interface

A distributed remote sensing system comprising:

• at least one gateway;
• at least one sensing device;
• and
• a communication interface providing radio frequency communication through a predetermined shared variable frequency scheme between each sensing device and one of the at least one gateway and between each sensing device and another of the at least one gateway through a different variable frequency scheme that is independent of the predetermined shared variable frequency scheme, wherein the at least one sensing device predeterminately pairs with the one of the at least one gateway and the another of the at least one gateway and is configured so as to store a time stamp data at the at least one sensing device based on both of the one of the at least one gateway and the another of the at least one gateway being unavailable.

A method comprising:

• providing at least one gateway;
• providing at least one sensing device;
• providing, with a communication interface, radio frequency communication through a predetermined shared variable frequency scheme between each sensing device and one of the at least one gateway and between each sensing device and another of the at least one gateway through a different variable frequency scheme;
• and
• predeterminately pairing, via the communication interface, each sensing device with the predetermined shared variable frequency scheme corresponding to each sensing device from different variable frequency schemes of the communication interface and the at least one sensing device.
