This white paper by Digi International explores mixing cellular, Wi-Fi®/802.11, WiMAX™/802.16, Bluetooth®, ZigBee®/802.15.4 and proprietary wireless technologies to form a successful commercial or industrial deployment.
As advancements in wireless technology have caused the wired paradigm to fade and as pervasive wireless in consumer markets has driven our belief in easy, low cost solutions, we need to remember that commercial needs are different than the industrial sector. We can’t always rely on the human presence to adjust for the “number of bars” or to initiate a “new call.” We also need to account for the relatively small number of devices in a consumer application environment compared to the thousands of units in a commercial or industrial environment.
