Wireless Sensors Systems

Hello Everyone,

 

Its nice to be here.

 

Right, I have a question, and I would love to know your thoughts on it.

 

Wireless sensors systems, do you believe that companies are avoiding them because wireless has the label of being "unreliable" with all the general problems that people seem to have with laptops and mobile phone not always have a perfect signal?

 

Or do you think the problem is more security related, the fact that they would worry they are sending important information via the airwaves?

 

Lets face if, if you have a factory complex that covers a few square miles are you really going to want to play with structured cabling and, if you have industrial equipment, the worry of someone cutting a line between buildings? Lets face it, this sort of thing has happened and will continue to happen, and we would all dearly love to go wireless completely, think about it, just pick up your device and bingo you have what you want, or you can do what you want, all because it is there.

 

So, tell me, what do you think?

    Hi Willian,

     

    I think that companies are moving to the wireless world but not as fast as desired. As you've stated, the wireless connectivity is not as reliable as the wired one, and the time-to-market costs of new products is higher in comparison with the wired solutions.  However, today they are much wireless products than 10 years ago, and you can be sure that this growth will continue.  As well as the engineers are gaining more know-how in the wireless communications, products will be as reliable as the wired solutions.

     

    Best regards
