The disclosure generally relates in part to a transient wireless communications network that includes a first intelligent node having a processor, a memory communicatively coupled with the processor and storing a predetermined schedule of shipping data for at least one asset, and one or more network communications interfaces to communicate on the transient wireless communications network, the memory storing machine readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to identify, based on referencing the predetermined schedule, a second intelligent node of the transient wireless communication network that is available to communicate with the first intelligent node based on a time slot of the predetermined schedule defining communication between intelligent nodes within the network. The processor may further cause the network communication interface to transmit, during the time slot, data, from the first intelligent node to the second intelligent node.
