Industrial Automation

Wireless networks for industrial automation enhance the ability to gather time-critical information, digest it, and react – key to continuously adapting to change with increasing reliability and profitability. The evolution in wireless technologies has opened the door to a new class of plant automation architecture that offers adopters a significant strategic advantage. Driven by substantial and measurable cost savings in engineering, installation and logistics, as well as dramatic improvements in the frequency and reliability of field data collection, automation experts and IT professionals are presented with the opportunity to deliver a significant, positive impact to the bottom line.

Communications

The cost reduction of communicating wirelessly has driven the communication industry evolution to RF wireless networks. Due to the absence of  physical infrastructure, wireless communication has advantages that often include collapsing distance or space and the flexibility of mobile receivers that communicate anywhere within the transmission tower distance.

Medical Instrumentation

Wireless technology has made great strides in the healthcare field and is a platform of many uses for administrators, clinicians and support personnel. The role of radio frequency in communications has become standard and vendors continually search for ways to integrate new applications into the domain. Medical devices have unique wireless protocols that are suited to the point-of-care deployment of devices in the healthcare industry; wireless adoption and standardization is still evolving.

Protection & Filtering

Wireless communication networks have evolved rapidly over the last decade and utilized a wide range of frequency bands for their operation particularly in the microwave band region. The devices using wireless communication are naturally more susceptible to interference from airborne phenomenon and are more likely to emit unwanted electrical noise.

Satellite Communications

Satellites are used in public safety, broadband media, telecommunications, utilities, military, weather monitoring and internet connectivity. Some of the newer satellites are the size of a shoe-box. In 2018 there were 111 successful rocket launches with payloads ranging from 1 to several satellites each. Every satellite uses some portion of the RF spectrum to communicate with the ground and other satellites. These are the RF links that transmit telemetry or payload data from the satellite to the ground and the links that transmit command or uplink data from the ground to the satellite. There are modems (short for modulator/demodulator) on both sides of these links, one on the satellite and one at the ground antenna.
