How to Build Reliable, Responsive, Low-Cost Mobile WiFi Networks for the Industrial Internet of Things - Whitepaper from Moxa

WiFi is also the best-understood wireless technology amongst engineering personnel and service staff—ensuring effective, lower-cost technical support. However, WiFi’s origins as a consumer-oriented technology mean that wireless device manufacturers need to enhance some WiFi features to better handle industrial applications.

These include:

• Reducing access point handover delays to provide seamless roaming,
• Hardening WiFi devices to avoid severe damage from natural and manmade sources such as lightning, static electricity (ESD), and power surges.

​This white paper discusses how to best address these critical issues, as well as other important considerations that will help users realize the unique advantages of WiFi in a network with high mobility requirements—and as a key enabling technology for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).
