Oh, I meant most of the time, customers that requested for a enclosed wireless system... where are the majority request coming from based on your data? Green or brownfield?
Marty, between greenfield & brownfield; if an enclosed wireless system (not 802.11) were to deploy, which field to your experience has the highest acceptance rate to accept wireless systems into their industrial environment? Why?
Additional answer to cgervasi although DFS channels may be available customers have found it better to not bother or stay way becasue sometimes if your are near an airport thsi can be a cause a conflict
I ask b/c I've worked on wireless equipment in the past. The DFS channels are tricky because you have to vacate them for a period of time if you detect radar. I never found an easy way to get all nodes off a channel when one unit detects radar and then to get them back to that channel once the silent period expired. I imagine someone will come up with a good way to do it eventually, esp as the other 5GHz channels get crowded.
Oh, I'm getting a delay in the chat. My only question was whether the so-called DFS channels are usable? Can equipment intelligently choose another channel when radar is detected and perhaps move back when radar is gone?
Companies that provide Industrial Products include Siemens, Hirscmann and Phoenix Contact. Similar to some of the consumer products most can be set up using the build in web browser
I wonder if there is any way to use channels in the "DFS" (radar-detection required) bands can be used reliably. They're clearer, but you have to be prepared to vacate them as soon as you hear any radar signals.
Rob, IMHO it's easier to do DoS attack. My impression, though, is that AES encryption is really as good as wired. No one wants to say it's "wired equivalent" since an easy crack was found for a scheme by that name.
Could someone send me a powerpoint or the text of the presentation since I can not get it now? Or can I log in at another time with a different broswer and replay the presentation?
By experimenting with the photovoltaic reaction in solar cells, researchers at MIT have made a breakthrough in energy efficiency that significantly pushes the boundaries of current commercial cells on the market.
In a world that's going green, industrial operations have a problem: Their processes involve materials that are potentially toxic, flammable, corrosive, or reactive. If improperly managed, this can precipitate dangerous health and environmental consequences.
With LEDs dropping in price virtually every year, automakers have begun employing them, not only on luxury vehicles, but on entry-level models, as well.

A quick look into the merger of two powerhouse 3D printing OEMs and the new leader in rapid prototyping solutions, Stratasys. The industrial revolution is now led by 3D printing and engineers are given the opportunity to fully maximize their design capabilities, reduce their time-to-market and functionally test prototypes cheaper, faster and easier. Bruce Bradshaw, Director of Marketing in North America, will explore the large product offering and variety of materials that will help CAD designers articulate their product design with actual, physical prototypes. This broadcast will dive deep into technical information including application specific stories from real world customers and their experiences with 3D printing. 3D Printing is
