Analynk to Exhibit and Sponsor Aruba Atmosphere'20

Aruba access points (APs) are well known for their excellent coverage in central and remote sites, locations with high concentrations of Wi-Fi clients, indoors and outdoors, and harsh industrial environments. They are deployed in a wide range of wireless LAN (WLAN) environments world-wide. In the industrial space, many flight line, refinery, oil platform, storage depot, and mining applications require placing access points in an environment that is exposed to gasoline, natural gas, or other explosive gases or vapors.

Analynk manufactures hazardous area access point enclosures designed for Class 1, Division 1 and 2 locations, Groups A, B, C, & D and ATEX Zone 2 areas. Providing Wi-Fi or mesh in these hazardous locations is now accomplished by mounting the AP or MSR inside a compatible Analynk enclosure and connecting approved conduit and cabling.

Atmosphere is the annual Aruba meeting and convention for innovators in the field of wireless networking, wireless security, IoT, mobility and the cloud. Attendees of Atmosphere'20 have an opportunity to meet and rub shoulders with over 3000 peers. The goal of the meeting is to discuss, learn, collaborate and influence the direction of Aruba products with the mission to support Aruba in continuing to build and supply the industry’s best enterprise-class technologies in wireless & wired infrastructure.

Analynk is very proud to be a Silver Sponsor for Atmosphere'20.

Happy Veterans Day to Those Who Serve and Protect Our Country

Veterans Day is a day of observance and celebration for those who have served in the United States military. Veterans Day was originally called Armistice Day because of the November 11 Armistice that ended World War I. In 1954 it was officially changed to Veterans Day to include Veterans of all wars. This holiday honors those who took an oath to defend the United States and our Constitution, from all enemies, foreign and domestic. Through the observance of Veterans Day, we remind ourselves of our Veterans patriotism, love of country and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good.

Analynk Wireless thanks our Veterans, past and present, for serving our country and protecting our freedom.

New Article from NIST and IEEE on Wireless Network Design and IIoT

A recently published article published by the IEEE and written by researchers at NIST titled "Wireless Network Design for Emerging IIoT Applications: Reference Framework and Use Cases" is available for reading and downloading at this US National Library of Medicine / National Institutes of Health / PMC site: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6760003/.

ABSTRACT

Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications, featured with data-centric innovations, are leveraging the observability, control, and analytics, as well as the safety of industrial operations. In IIoT deployments, wireless links are increasingly used in improving the operational connectivity for industrial data services, such as collecting massive process data, communicating with industrial robots, and tracking machines/parts/products on the factory floor and beyond. The wireless system design for IIoT applications is inherently a joint effort between operational technology (OT) engineers, information technology (IT) system architects, and wireless network planners. In this paper, we propose a new reference framework for the wireless system design in IIoT use cases. The framework presents a generic design process and identifies the key questions and tools of individual procedures. Specifically, we extract impact factors from distinct domains including industrial operations and environments, data service dynamics, and the IT infrastructure. We then map these factors into function clusters and discuss their respective impact on performance metrics and resource utilization strategies. Finally, discussions take place in four exemplary IIoT applications where we use the framework to identify the wireless network issues and deployment features in the continuous process monitoring, discrete system control, mobile applications, and spectrum harmonization, respectively. The goals of this work are twofold: 1) to assist OT engineers to better recognize wireless communication demands and challenges in their plants, 2) to help industrial IT specialists to come up with operative and efficient end-to-end wireless solutions to meet demanding needs in factory environments.
