Not that I'd be necessarily inclined to use gabs solution.
I see what I suspect are perhaps similar situations all the time.
Hundreds of boxes, {actually more than three thousand in one case}
in a desert, (or arctic area)
with a solar panels for the only primary power,
sometimes spotty wireless comm with / between each other
{mesh or cell groups, sometimes no backhaul},
...
The embedded systems have to do the best they can,
with the resources they have, when they are available;
... and they run out of power often enough.
