Reliable Wireless Technology for Industrial Applications
This white paper discusses the use of wireless technology in industrial applications where cabling is not practical or possible. While wired communication is standard in industry, there are scenarios where wireless communication or remote control is the most suitable alternative.
The white paper presents a range of wireless systems developed by the "Wireless" business unit of Steute, a company specialised in switching devices for automation technology. The focus is on the company’s sWave technology, designed for point-to-point wireless connections in industrial environments.
