1. A system comprising:
aircraft tire monitoring devices each including a first processor and a first wireless communication device having a maximum transmission range, wherein the aircraft tire monitoring devices are spaced apart by distances greater than the maximum transmission range, wherein the aircraft tire monitoring devices includes a first aircraft tire monitoring device and additional aircraft tire monitoring devices, and
a intermediary device including a second wireless communication interface, a second processor and a memory,
wherein the intermediary device is configured to:
receive, using the second wireless communications interface, data transmitted by the first wireless communications interface of the first aircraft tire monitoring device of the tire monitoring devices;
store the data in the memory of the intermediary device;
be moved to within the maximum transmission ranges of each of the additional aircraft tire monitoring devices;
transmit the data using the second wireless communication interface to each of the additional aircraft tire monitoring devices while the intermediary device is within the maximum transmission range of the each of the other aircraft tire monitoring devices,
determine that the data was transmitted to each of the additional aircraft tire monitoring devices, and
erase the data from the memory after the transmission of the data to each of the additional aircraft tire monitoring devices after the determination that the data was transmitted to each of the additional aircraft tire monitoring devices.
