The opening of new frequency bands, and wider bandwidths, along with the continual advancement of wireless protocols, has allowed for additional applications. Video-stream monitoring will be smoother and easier to watch with faster protocols and wider bandwidths that are possible with 5G Wireless.
With the advent of 5G technologies, critical data can see sent faster and more reliably, so that real-time decisions are possible. Video streaming is one example, made smoother and easier to watch with faster protocols and wider bandwidths that are possible with 5G wireless transmissions.
In some cases, time and speed are not critical. In these cases, other wireless protocols may be appropriate. For example, small quantities of data to be sent periodically, might be better suited over a license-free network such as ISM, LoRaWAN or, Sigfox. If the data needs to be transmitted over longer distances, an NB-IoT system might be more appropriate.
One thing that distinguishes Industrial IoT from Consumer IoT is the environment in which most IIoT applications are placed. Rugged settings and harsh conditions place more demands on the types of equipment that can be used.
Sometimes the equipment will be placed outdoors and subjected to extreme variations in temperature and moisture. Other times, the equipment will be placed in high vibration and high impact settings where product durability is essential. Mobile Mark understands the demands of these environments and has developed Industrial IoT antenna solutions that can stand up to these requirements.
We also understand that mounting requirements vary with location. A number of our mounts are used to secure antennas in unusual settings. These mounts adjust the antenna’s angle for optimum coverage. Radiation patterns are available to help network designers optimize the coverage area.
