Wireless Technology

Wireless technologies are becoming a cornerstone in the realm of industrial operations offering significant advantages over traditional wired systems by eliminating expensive and complex cabling. The flexibility afforded by these technologies allows for easy modifications to network layouts and facilitates scaling by adding more devices without the logistical constraints of physical connections. This adaptability extends to integrating mobile devices or components thereby broadening the scope of potential applications and functionalities. Despite certain limitations the acceptance of wireless solutions in industrial settings is on the rise particularly for monitoring and supervisory roles. More recently their application has expanded to include time-sensitive operations such as those found in closed-loop control systems managing processes with slow dynamics. The rapid evolution of wireless technology propelled by the emergence of various significant market technologies underscores the dynamic nature of this field. This book aims to explore the breadth of wireless communication focusing on devices tools and techniques relevant to Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) and other wireless network infrastructures while also discussing the sustainability of pervasive WSN applications and delving into ancillary subjects related to the wireless domain.
