The invention relates to a device and a method for transmitting measurement signals in spatially extensive supply networks (28) with measuring devices which have at least one sensor (10) and are intended to transmit statistical characteristic values relating to the operating behaviour to at least one control point (30) which is used to monitor and control the supply network (28), wherein the at least one control point (30) has a control room which is arranged centrally and/or in a decentralized manner, and a respective sensor (10) for currently locally determining defined characteristic values is provided at different positions, and wherein, in order to transmit the respective measured values to the at least one control point (30), wireless data transmission is provided and respectively transmits the data in packets at defined times, wherein the measurement signals are transmitted dynamically, with the result that the correct data are thereby available in the correct quantity and quality at the correct time, and the data which have been transmitted are classified, for the purposes of analysis, in terms of the relevance thereof to the operation of the supply network (28).
