Wireless Sensors Systems

deetergroup

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?

  • Welcome deetergroup,

     

    I sympasize with your problem.  I think the major wireless draw back is still the security issue and range of service.  If you have a solid encryption included with your wireless gear that might make it more attractive to companies.  Just the idea of information getting out under uncontrollable circumstances makes a lot of business leaders cringe.

    The other big issue is reliability and bandwidth.  I know a lot of companies will not use the IPAD because it uses too much of the bandwidth and did not reliably transfer emails in a reasonable time.

    If you want to get into the business environment, you need a solid product that is better than what they have, simple to use, low maintenance and is less expensive than what they currently use.  Also remember, change is THE hardest thing to get moving in an established company.  Plus you need a trusted insider who can vouch for the product and the company behind it.  Until you have a fan inside, you are just another company fishing for business.

     

    I wish you good luck.
