Abstract
An apparatus and method for transmitting data to and from a data collection device using the short message service functionality of the control channel of a personal communications system transmission protocol is disclosed. The method includes first transmitting a request for data from a remote device to the data collection device using the short message service portion of the digital personal communications system control channel transmission protocol. The requests are received a the data collection device and interpreted. According to the interpretation, the data collection device compiles the data that was requested by the remote device. The compiled data is transmitted to the remote device using the short message service portion of the digital personal communications system control channel transmission protocol.
