APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DYNAMIC LICENSING ACCESS TO WIRELESS NETWORK INFORMATION

An apparatus and method for dynamically licensing access to wireless network information provides multiple third parties with selective access to network device information in real-time. Information is collected in real-time from a plurality of sensing and control devices configured in a network arrangement. Information may be collected from each of the sensing and control devices regardless of the communication protocol associated with the device. The collected information is stored and aggregated by a service broker, which selectively licenses access to the information, or subsets of the information, to one or more third parties.
