Title: Quo Vadis, Wireless: An Industrial Automation Perspective
Automation finds its application in different industries, such as power generation, mining and mineral processing industry, and manufacturing. Each of these industries puts forth a set of requirements on the supporting communication infrastructure in terms of, e.g., required performance and security. This talk will first review selected use cases from the industrial automation domain which benefit from the utilization of wireless communication. It will then present how performance-related and other requirements of these use cases are tackled by specific wireless communication technologies, with a focus on 5G.
