Abstract
A physical network address of one of a set of wireless customer-premise monitoring devices is translated to a shared logical device physical network address in response to receipt of a data packet addressed to the physical network address. The shared logical device physical network address forms a logical device group and physically addresses each of the set of wireless customer-premise monitoring devices over a single communication channel of a wireless cellular network. The wireless customer-premise monitoring devices are configured with each of a shared-identity subscriber identity module (SIM) that uses the shared logical device physical network address and an individual-identity SIM that uses the physical network address. The physical network address of the one of the set of wireless customer-premise monitoring devices is embedded within the data packet addressed to the shared logical device physical network address. The data packet is sent to the shared logical device physical network address.
