Planning, specification and evaluation of industrial wireless network installations

Wireless systems in industrial applications are prone to manifold influences. However, not in each case is this considered from the beginning. The result is that changes may reduce the availability of the wireless communication. There are several possible reasons that are not necessarily caused in wireless trans­mission. The institute ifak supports operators of industrial wireless networks analysing and optimising the wireless communication based on systematic investigations of the wireless transmission and communi­cation. Furthermore, ifak offers advice and consultation on the introduction of a coexistence management process compliant to IEC 62657-2.
