Field installations inevitably experience communication interruptions.
Temporary network failures, power interruptions or environmental interference should not compromise the integrity of the overall platform.
For this reason, communication devices should be capable of temporarily storing measurements until connectivity is restored.
Once communication becomes available again, buffered information should be transmitted automatically while preserving its original timestamps.
This approach maintains continuity of historical records and reduces the impact of temporary infrastructure failures.
The platform should therefore assume that communication interruptions are normal operational events rather than exceptional situations.
