Is the communications system at your facility keeping up or falling down?

This May, Apprion conducted a survey with Control Magazine on wireless communications at various industrial facilities. This research report is the second in the series on the State of Industrial Wireless 2010. There is nothing more essential to the safe and efficient running of any plant than reliable communications. In this report we focus on wireless communications applications, the current state of implementation, the issues driving wireless communications today and how they might impact investment decisions in the next three years. Key discoveries include:

• Use of IP-based, Wireless Local Area Networks will increase by 73% over the next three years
• Investment in IP/WLAN networks is expected to grow 96% over the next three years
• 61% of plants are actively engaged in developing a unified communications strategy or are in the process of implementing a unified communications strategy

Environmental Effects on Wireless: Topographical Elements and Wireless Planning with Modeling and Design Systems

This month we wrap up our Real–World Lessons Series on the "Environmental Effects on Wireless" with a look at the topographical elements effect on wireless deployments and an introduction to modeling software and the variables necessary to design a wireless system.

What impact do topographical elements have on wireless deployments?
Topographical and structural events include buildings, foliage, support structure and other elements that are a part of "the lay of the land". Topological structures may cause undesired attenuation, and the scattering or blocking of signals.
