This document investigates the requirement for security in industrial networks and highlights the features and benefits of industrial grade security appliances as opposed to commercial grade equipment.

This white paper explains the traditional single-RF (single radio frequency) and dual-RF (dual radio frequency) wireless architectures and discusses what Moxa can provide in the way of dual-RF technology.

Moxa have innovated two advanced operational modes to increase the possibilities in which clients and hosts can send and receive data - COM grouping and UDP Multicast.

As WLAN evolves, with the use of 802.11n, it is only a matter of time before it makes an impact with industrial WLANs.

Adopted by a wide range of instrumentation applications, the General Purpose Interface Bus (GPIB) is now being challenged by emerging standards such as USB and LXI.

New wireless data technologies now make it possible to create train communications systems that are as advanced as the electric, maglev, and hydrail locomotives that are powering the train systems of the future.
