Factory floors provide a wealth of information around the clock – the number of components manufactured at an auto plant, the amount of dough mixed at an industrial bakery, the status of every piece of equipment on the floor.

Using Industrial Wireless Networks for Mining Applications
Mining, with its harsh conditions and long distances, can provide serious communications challenges, which industrial wireless networks are well-suited to overcome.
Offering a full range of operating frequencies, ESTeem’s industrial wireless radios are a particularly good fit, and we’ve seen great success in a number of difficult mining applications. [...]
Wireless Radios for Water and Wastewater Applications
Water and wastewater systems don’t run themselves. A lot of
sophisticated monitoring and automated control goes into ensuring a community’s
water needs are met day in and day out. These include things like monitoring
and controlling:
Pump status (on/off/hours run) and flow ratesWater levels in wells and tanksSluice gate positionsReservoir levelsIntrusion alarms and security measures
One of the many [...]
