Wireless & Networking Track
Wireless technology is pervasive in automation and control today, but there are still plenty of legacy systems utilizing hard-wired systems and remote installations relying on cable to push the information back to the main computer system. The Wireless & Networking Track will cover wireless and the infrastructure, fieldbus implementation, the Ethernet, fiber optic solutions, and radio and other data communication types.
