Advantech, Bayer Technology (BTI), Hitachi Solutions USA and Microsoft have announced that they are collaborating to produce wireless communication solutions with unparalleled scalability, reliability and security for private IIoT networks. As they claim that no technology provider can individually allow IIoT, this joint effort will provide the first end-to-end wireless gateway solution for the mass market to ensure connectivity to production-grade sensors for industrial and commercial applications. The solution will provide extensive scalability, maximum deep penetration with traditional systems, integration and interoperability, and the node's long battery life.
This collaboration is designed to meet the market's growing demand for robust and comprehensive off-the-shelf wireless IIoT communication solutions to add a variety of sensors used by commercial and industrial customers to their business intelligence efforts. The basis of this joint effort is BTI MIOTY, an LPWAN communication solution that is said to be the first and only network to use the ETSI standard TS-UNB technology specification for low-throughput networks, enabling organizations to use unmatched capabilities Deploy a private IoT sensor network, high QoS, and lower total cost of ownership. Using an industry-standard Advantech gateway, BTI MIOTY can transmit up to 1.5 million messages per day within a radius of 5-15 kilometers without the need for an operator. On top of this infrastructure,
