A newer approach
Wireless Gateway
Master sends a command - the Gateway
responds, the Master does not time out
The SMART Gateway transmits the information - fast response is
maintained by exception reporting wireless protocol
The second SMART Gateway passes on the information:
Communications is successful and continues
