Wireless communications are becoming increasingly important to industrial IoT as factories are becoming more connected, from autonomous robots to Private 5G networks that provide security assurances, and facility operators are after reliable, high-speed and low-latency connectivity. This issue takes a look at the intersection between wireless communications and industrial IoT including exploring the reasons behind an increase in the adoption of Private 5G networks.
Elsewhere, 5G RedCap is viewed through a lens of how it can bridge the gap between energy efficiency and fast speeds; while market analysis of 5G shows that by harnessing all of its capabilities – from Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) to network slicing – MNOs can create new opportunities for themselves.
On the subject of industrial IoT uptime is positioned as a critical need for remaining profitable and efficiency, and Ethernet switches are explored from the perspective of how they can help manufacturers with dealing with the growing complexity of industrial networks.
One thing is for certain: whatever the solution or environment, the connectivity needs to be reliable, secure, and scalable. To gain expert insights on these topics, read on in this issue of IoT Insider.
