Preface
Wireless technologies have become
increasingly popular in industrial
automation as growing numbers of
system integrators, governmental
agencies, and industrial solution
providers continue to turn to these
solutions for their applications.

agencies, and industrial solution
providers continue to turn to these
solutions for their applications.
Advantages of using wireless
technologies include boosting data
transmission speed, real-time data
transmissions, remote equipment
monitoring and alerts, flexible
installation of remote equipment, and
wide coverage areas. In addition,
wireless technologies can penetrate
areas where cables are unable to
reach, saving wiring costs. By adopting
wireless technologies, industrial
applications are able to benefit from
greater versatility.

However, the completeness of data,
security of transmission, and reliability
of the wireless network are constant
concerns as wireless technologies
rely completely on the emission of
electromagnetic waves through the
air. Drawing from over 20 years of
experience, Moxa offers users the most
reliable industrial networking solutions
including Turbo Roaming™ for
seamless wireless communication, as
well as extended wireless transmission
ranges of over 10 km. In addition, our
complete selection of products for
demanding industrial environments
includes wide temperature (-40 to
75°C) models, IP67-rated protection
from water and dust, and EN50155
certification for rail traffic applications.

We hope this guidebook will provide
you with a more comprehensive
understanding of industrial wireless
technologies and serve as your best
guide to getting un-wired!
