The Internet of Things (IoT) is an area of networking that is rapidly expanding, with a growing number of use cases across various sectors such as healthcare and retail. IoT technology is providing valuable security and cost-saving benefits through the use of new sensors that enable capabilities like improved inventory management and product enhancement.

By simplifying task-specific networks, reducing costs, optimizing resource utilization, and introducing new technologies such as automation, IoT solutions are addressing diverse use cases, from collecting sensor data in agricultural fields to providing internet access for moving trains. Key products in this domain include Heavy Duty Access Points (Wi-Fi or URWB), wireless backhaul models, power injectors, adapters, mounting accessories, rugged AP and Client (URWB) for moving machines and vehicles, Edge Compute appliance for URWB, and DNA-C and IOT Operations Center.

The Ultra-Reliable Wireless Backhaul (URWB) stands out for its high-speed mobility, low latency, and carrier-grade availability, making it ideal for assets that are constantly in motion. Cisco’s new “Industrial Wireless (IW) Service” offers cloud-based scalable provisioning and management of IW devices, ensuring secure and efficient operations even in offline environments.

With robust support for extreme environmental conditions and advanced networking capabilities, Cisco’s industrial solutions enable businesses to effectively optimize their IoT infrastructure. As the IoT landscape continues to evolve, Cisco remains at the forefront, delivering innovative and reliable hardware to support the growing demands of connected industries.
