    The document discusses the importance of standards for wireless industrial communication from an end-user perspective. It notes that end-users want wireless solutions for reasons like faster installation and reduced wiring costs, but that standards are critical to drive down costs and ensure competitiveness with wired technologies. The document advocates for a common wireless standard to create a large market, promote competition among manufacturers, and ultimately reduce prices so wireless can be widely adopted in industrial applications.

    Why do end-users want wireless?

    A variety of reasons Faster installations Save wiring costs Installations that are impossible with wired devices

    What do end-users want in a wireless system? Reliability Security Power consumption / battery life Standards Flexible Scaleable Ease of use

    Bla, bla, bla you have heard this before

    What we REALLY want?


    To make money for our companies!

    Rich Wireless Engineer

    To improve safety for our employees

    How do we do this with wireless?

    Installed cost of the wireless technology needs to be more than competitive with wired technologies
    4 to 20 mA

    Specialized installations like nuclear power plants alone will not drive costs to be competitive

    Why are standards important to the enduser?


    Because without them the price for wireless will not be acceptable to the masses How many fieldbus instruments are actually out there?

    The real reason end-users need wireless standards


    Keep costs of systems down
    Ensure competition Large market, economy of scale

    Our interests as common end-users


    1. 2. 3. 4. Many manufacturers making standardized equipment Driving costs down for the end-user Driving application rates up Driving costs down

    Free market trade

    Competition
    Some manufacturers welcome this Some are scared to death Where are you?
