Our Mission…….

• Our mission is to promote the adoption of wireless technologies and solutions that improve the efficiencies, production and safety of industrial manufacturing and processes.

Our Vision……

• Our vision is to be the premier global organization that provides a forum for industrial wireless technology education, information, and an exchange of ideas for future development of industrial wireless technologies. WINA will catalyze the exchange of information and strategic direction between government, academia, technology producers and industrial end users on a global basis.

Current Activities (2007 – 2008)

• Major support and development for SP100• Education and Training

- Technical Conference Participation• Participate Globally• Develop tracks & sessions

- Webinars - Seminars- Tutorials- Presentations

• Developing Wireless Best Practices• Interoperability and Co-Existence Demonstrations

- Define requirements- Build to specification- Demonstrate openly

Membership provides a value added proposition by:

• Influencing Decisions- Ensure your company has a voice in defining wireless industrial

products.

- Proactive influence in standards that will define the marketplace tomorrow

• Catalyze Collaboration - Work together with other industry producers & end users

- Exchange information in your development community

• Providing Leadership in the Community- Gain the credibility of the industrial wireless community

- Improve the product solutions of your organization

• Conducting Sound Businesses Practices- Through WINA membership, increase exposure to potential customers

& partnerships.

Promise of Wireless…….

Wireless technology and wireless networking systems hold great promise to help industry use energy and materials more efficiently, lower systems and infrastructure costs, lower production costs, and increase productivity.

Customer Concerns

• Lack of security• Incomplete & conflicting standards, frequencies, &

protocols• Haphazard growth / no clear roadmap • Inconsistent quality of point solutions• Weak industrial quality• Poor migration path for investment preservation• Inconsistent support within IT organizations• Cost of operation uncertainties• Network management challenges• Lack of proven applications

Mobility and Measurements are the Drivers

• More measurement at lower cost• Eliminating wires means significant cost savings• More mobile workforce• New applications drive bottom line improvements• New measurements address mandated

requirements• Wireless is key enabler for enterprise-wide solutions

Wireless Technologies

• WiMax LOS link backhaul or Point to Point

- Up to 50KM, depending on bandwidth and environmental conditions

• WiMax NLOS ‘bubble’ can surround entire plant

- Approx. 5KM Radius

• WiFi ‘hotspots’ give mobility to workers

- Live Video, VoIP, Real-time Tracking, Remote Access to data/HMI etc.

• These integrated technologies allow for:

- Reduced personnel / less transport

- Faster response / intervention

- More mobility / better communications

- Superior remote capabilities

- Safer working environment

All of this RF can lead to coexistence “issues”

A Word on Congestion Management (what do you do when the Wireless Process Sensor Networks have Used up the available RF Spectrum?) hint: Currently vendors do Nothing.

Can such congestion happen?
