Industrial Wireless for Engineers and Technicians

Wireless communications is being rapidly implemented in the industrial environment, with great success, provided certain ground rules are applied.

The most important objective of wireless communications networks must be to achieve similar capacities, bandwidths, responsiveness and availability to that of wire-based communications systems. This manual covers the essential ares of robust wireless links, correct integration with the wired communications systems, and proper data security.  Apart from covering wireless basics, providing an in-depth coverage of the main industrial wireless technologies in use today - radio modems, IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs (Wi-Fi) and IEEE 802.15.4 wireless PAN technology as implemented by a multitude of process control system vendors. This manual should give you a clear understanding of the choices available to you in designing and implementing your own industrial wireless network.
