The Internet of Things (IoT) is rapidly expanding in networking with increasing use cases, impacting sectors like healthcare and retail. It provides valuable security and cost-saving benefits through new forms of sensors, enabling capabilities such as better inventory management and improved products. This reduces complexity, lowers costs, optimizes resource utilization, and introduces newer processes and technologies like automation.

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

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.
