After years of focusing heavily on corporate office and branch WLANs, many organizations need to deploy advanced mobility tools beyond the carpeted space. However, industrial and non-industrial facilities have different wireless needs.
For example, office and consumer grade devices might work well in a climate-controlled and carpeted office, but that isn't always the case in RF-challenged industrial environments. Planning and implementation are no longer as simple as asking how many square feet you have-- the type of materials used in constructing your building and calculating how many access points you'll need.
A high-performance, purpose-built industrial WLAN is a critical success factor to maximizing mobility benefits in manufacturing, distribution and storage facilities, and this paper outlines five important considerations for the industrial WLAN.
