A system for sending updates to a large number of remote units is described. The system includes a plurality of remote units, each remote unit comprising one or more sensors and a communications transceiver. A control center is in communication with the remote units and includes an update database reflecting the update status of each of the plurality of remote units. The control center establishes contact with each of the plurality of remote units and sends an update when communication has been established. The update database is periodically updated to reflect the completion of the update for each mobile unit based on a completion message from each of the remote units that has successfully installed the update.
