If they dont have a network cable or get moved
about, wireless makes it easier.

Not everything needs to be known immediately.

Wi-Fi
If youre stationary within a Wi-Fi zone for more
than 30 seconds you can connect and upload stored
data.

The short range standards to choose from...
Today Bluetooth and 802.11 are the only robust
options.
6
Market Segmentation for Wireless standards
These are the markets with volume growth. For
example, Bluetooth ships over 2 million devices
EVERY DAY.
Unless a wireless standard becomes successful in
a volume market, it becomes indistinguishable
from a proprietary radio.

Why Machines Matter
PCs. Hundreds of millions in use.
50 Connected
Cellphones. Billions in use.
100 Connected
Machines. Tens of Billions in use.

Were wasting precious spectrum on people.
Controlling machines will help control our
environment.

12

• Physical Architecture
• Devices wired to local data collector panel
• Edge device wired to customer LAN
• Users access reports via internet
• Wireless applications considered
• Mesh Networking for meters to panel but,
• Cost too much per device, maintenance issues
• Panel to Hotel LAN but,
• Poor location requires repeaters,
• cost, complexity

13
Ei3 Solution for the Bobst Group

• Bobst 2B Manufacturer of printing presses and
  paper machinery
• Purpose Remote Service and Equipment monitoring

• Ethernet gateways to Proprietary Industrial
  Protocols
• Network integration at customer sites
• Results 95 customer retention

14
Ei3 Solution for the Bobst Group

• Wireless applications considered
• Machine control devices, but
• Requires protocol conversion at each device which
  costs too much
• Plant LAN, but,
• Adds complexity to network and most plants have
  wired LANs, customers are reluctant

15
