The system includes at least one data receiver, a low-power photo-voltaic power generation and distribution system, and a unique signal detector. The data receiver receives serial digital information from a remote optical data transmitter. The data receiver serves both activation and data/control wireless datalink functions. The low-power photo-voltaic power generation and distribution system includes at least one photo-voltaic panel for receiving optical power from a remote optical emission source; and power conditioning, accumulation, and distribution means. Such means includes a digital micro-power timer integrated circuit. The power conditioning, accumulation, and distribution means is connected to the photo-voltaic panel for accumulating power generated by the photo-voltaic panel for periodically and intermittently distributing accumulated power in desired quantities. The unique signal detector is connected to the data receiver and to the power conditioning, accumulation and distribution means, and is connectable to an electrical apparatus. The periodically and intermittently distributed power enables the unique signal detector to evaluate incoming data received from the data receiver, and upon detection of the receipt of a signal qualifying as a key, thereupon issues a command to the electrical apparatus to initiate uninterrupted data communication from the data receiver. The system is capable of providing a lifetime physical-connection-free means of accomplishing remote datalink activation and subsequent communications functions to remote objects.
