Wireless Ethernet in factory and industrial applications

摘要

The march to wired Ethernet in factory floor and industrial applications is well under way. Issues of speed and latency for critical timing and control have been addressed through higher speed Ethernet and network planning. The next wave of Ethernet will be wireless Ethernet and it is already making inroads. This presentation will discuss the various wireless Ethernet solutions and discuss strengths and tradeoffs for each. A comparison between wireless and wired Ethernet will be presented. The presentation will also discuss which factory floor and industrial applications are appropriate for the various wireless Ethernet products. The presentation will conclude with a discussion of implementation considerations for deploying wireless Ethernet on the factory floor and in industrial environments.
