The Internet of Things (IoT) is rapidly expanding and is being used in various sectors such as healthcare and retail to provide security and cost-saving benefits through new sensors. These sensors enable better inventory management, improved products, and reduce the complexity of multiple task-specific networks. They also lower costs for duplicative IoT devices, optimize resource utilization, and introduce newer processes and technologies such as automation.

These solutions address various use cases, from remote sensor data collection in agricultural fields to providing internet access for moving trains. Key products in this area include Heavy Duty Access Points, Wireless backhaul models, Power injectors, adapters, and mounting accessories, Rugged AP and Client for moving machines and vehicles, Edge Compute appliance, and DNA-C and IOT Operations Center. The Ultra-Reliable Wireless Backhaul (URWB) is notable for its high-speed mobility, low latency, and carrier-grade availability.

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. Cisco’s industrial solutions enable businesses to optimize their IoT infrastructure effectively with robust support for extreme environmental conditions and advanced networking capabilities. 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.
