Omni Antennas for Industrial Networks

The wireless communications industry is rapidly advancing connecting people and machines on a global scale like never seen before. Increasing demand for breathtakingly high-data-rate services along with the evolution of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Industry 4.0 applications is exposing novel technical challenges in wireless communications networks.New services and applications call for exploring even more frequency bands and stretching for even greater spectral efficiency. Future wireless systems are challenged with simultaneously supporting communications requirements of advanced IoT devices and the demands of mission-critical networks found in industries including electric utilities, oil & gas, mining, wind, and solar power generation and more.As mission critical industrial wireless networks continue to grow, there is an increasing demand for greater bandwidth, wider coverage and zero tolerance for downtime.
