Abstract

A system for collecting data from a machine lacking network connectivity may comprise a mobile vehicle. The mobile vehicle may be configured for providing a vehicle communication network to a data hauling device of the machine, the machine being remote from a stationary site having a site-specific communication network. The mobile vehicle may further be configured for retrieving data from the data hauling device via the vehicle communication network, detecting the site-specific communication network, and uploading the retrieved data to the stationary site using the site-specific communication network.
