Industrial systems have greatly benefited from the introduction of smart wireless connectivity. The industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has enabled significant increases in productivity, reliability, integration, and profitability. But the IIoT is more than just a collection of technologies wrapped up in buzzwords — it’s a real application space with serious development and deployment considerations.

For industrial environments, the decision between wired and wireless technology is a strategic engineering shift driven by physical deployment constraints. IIoT deployments often place antennas in challenging RF environments, demanding proper design in antennas, integration, and validation to ensure reliable connectivity in real-world industrial applications.
