The Internet of Things (IoT) is a rapidly expanding area of networking with increasing use cases across various sectors. It impacts industries such as healthcare and retail by providing valuable security and cost-saving benefits through new forms of sensors.

These sensors enable capabilities like better inventory management and improved products, reducing the complexity of task-specific networks, lowering costs for duplicative IoT devices, and introducing automation technologies. Furthermore, IoT solutions address diverse use cases, from remote sensor data collection in agricultural fields to providing internet access for moving trains.

Key products in this domain 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) stands out for its high-speed mobility, low latency, and carrier-grade availability, making it ideal for assets in constant 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. Cisco’s industrial solutions provide robust support for extreme environmental conditions and advanced networking capabilities, enabling businesses to optimize their IoT infrastructure effectively.

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.
