I was not aware that the design of the antenna was not part of the first steps with these products. It does not make much sense when you think about it, being that this one aspect could change so much about the final look/layout of the device in question. Though, I guess with frequencies this high, and antennas this small, not to mention the variety of designs that it makes sense from a point of view how this could be thought of as one of the more dependable factors of the design, and therefore one that required less legwork.
We have no plans now to do a wireless network in the next twelve months, but we are looking into creating one and would like to reivew the pros and cons that are inherent to it.
Thank you for your very realistic (tricks, hints, pitfalls) presentation on wireless. Who said that the birds are not wise (slide 2) when it comes to wireless technology?
For our firm, we are more interested in attaching our device to the wireless device. Are there module makers that can take a analogue signal and convert it to a digital signal prior to transmittal.
There are multiple modules that have microcontroller + RF components integrated. Does Fanny have any experience with any of them? Are some significantly better than others?
I'm teaching a senior product design class and the class has a project thet will most likely use a wireless mesh network. That project will result in (hopefully) a protytype product that can be field tested. It will last roughly 6 months.
best technology for wireless networks to provide communication security. protection from jamming to deny or unauthorized access to network data/control.
Fanny, In your device testing is there any factor that those of us without access to a test facility can use to best determine performance of a device? Also do you have any reason to suggest that a single brand/vendor solution is best?
@Alex - Sorry 'bout the repeated answering of your question. My postings were not showing up. But eventually, I noticed that no postings were showing for about 5 minutes. Audio stream was fine, but no postings from anyone. Did a refresh, audio stream still fine, and all my postings were visible. I also did a IE shutdown, a purge and a return to webinar to get the posting to continue. Since I'm not the only one with this problem, I hope this helps someone in troubleshooting.
Working the whole job. System design using COTS equipment, hardware and software when deploying the sistem in the field for collectiing data from 100s of mobile units operating over several 10s of kilometers. This is done three to four times a year.

UK-based Plastic Logic and French company ISORG have created what the pair tout as a first in flexible printed electronics: a large area, conformable, organic image sensor printed on plastic.
For 3D printing to make the jump from rapid prototyping to manufacturing, engineers will need to find easier ways to move products from their CAD screens to their printers.
Gigabit and PoE are two networking technologies moving ahead in tandem as industrial users power remote Ethernet devices such as IP security cameras at 1,000 Mbps over existing CAT5 cable.

For industrial control applications, or even a simple assembly line, that machine can go almost 24/7 without a break. But what happens when the task is a little more complex? That’s where the “smart” machine would come in. The smart machine is one that has some simple (or complex in some cases) processing capability to be able to adapt to changing conditions. Such machines are suited for a host of applications, including automotive, aerospace, defense, medical, computers and electronics, telecommunications, consumer goods, and so on. This radio show will show what’s possible with smart machines, and what tradeoffs need to be made to implement such a solution.
