Abstract
A system shares a telematics access point between agricultural or industrial machines or vehicles utilizing short-range wireless connection devices for each of the machines or vehicles. The short-range wireless connection devices create a short-range local wireless network and transmit status messages from each of the machines or vehicles, indicating whether the machine or vehicle to which each short-range wireless connection device is connected has a cellular telematics modem and an active valid subscription for cellular internet access. At least one telematics access point is chosen from among the machines or vehicles having a modem and a subscription. The wireless connection devices transmit data and informatics to the telematics access point. The telematics access point transmits the data and informatics to a back-office server using the cellular telematics modem by way of a telecommunication system.
