(Yes) • Implications • Local and FlexConnect support Drones in manufacturing • site surveys • But what else? • RFID inventory like at BMW • LiDar mapping? Siemens • LTE backwards compatible • CBRS • Private 5G • Public carriers (it depends) certifications in process for some. • WiFi 7 rumblings, I hear it is on the roadmap Phoenix Contact • 2 current Wi-Fi 6 industrial wireless access point models • 6e models in the works Waveriders Collective • ad hoc 5G deployments • will these be usable for bringing plants back online/bridging a permanent infrastructure • POCs R3 • Edge X is 802.11 but has m2 slot and is looking to support echo ring at some point. • soft PLC on board • Edge X is the platform as well. https://www.r3.group/de/support-downloads/?file=files/media/downloads/products/R3_Edge-X_DataSheet_EN_2024-11.pdf&cid=1911 Fortinet • Products coming out next year will include a host of industrial geared hardware. • WiFi 7 and 5G capabilities.  • Leaning on track record and security focus. Aunex • axe client (data sheet) • Data Eagle (Scott will like this) 2.4/BT/900 MHz time sensitive protocol focus • CIP etc RTLS? Are any listeners deploying this? Send us an email. Sub Gig • Meshtastic, is it useable in Industrial or is it still sorta niche/fun (Line of sight) • https://meshtastic.org/ Wi-Fi 7 possibilities in Industry, manufacturing and safety • Are massive gains in throughput a selling point for manufacturing • 4096 QAM • Massive channel widths (320 plus non-contiguous) • What about Multi-Link Operation (MLO), a feature that increases capacity by simultaneously sending and receiving data across different frequency bands and channels. (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, 6 GHz) • Wi-Fi 7 claims dramatically lower overall latency • Probably going to be great for camera systems. Oscium/Metageek • Q1 planned discussion around the merger, spectrum analysis, potential new hardware,  old friends WLAN Pi  • App and API • M4 Plus • OTG • Go • HaLow surveying? WLPC 2025 • Surveying private cellular Mark Houtz looks like it is on the horizon. Heatmaps, pcaps, oh my • https://markhoutz.com/ • Presenting on this at WLPC Phoenix 2025 • WLPC 10 talk on site surveys in machine cells and entertainment… WiCo  -Chapel Hill NC- 5/14 -Scott presenting on … -Nashville 5/29- Jeremy possible presentation on CURWB What’s coming up for the IWS in 2025? • Some great guests lined up • Oscium – Lord High Commanders of Spectrum Analysis • Dr. Rick Candell from NIST/IEEE • Dr. Emmett Brown to d...
