New Cisco technology expands customer choice and reduces total cost of ownership.
Honeywell has announced that it is offering a new wireless Access Point from Cisco Systems, a global leader in networking, as part of its OneWireless solution of industrial wireless products and services. This Cisco Access Point provides customers seeking to implement a long-term, plant-wide wireless infrastructure at their industrial facilities with industry leading technology and support from two of the largest and most established wireless solutions providers in the world.
Cisco’s new Aironet 1552S Access Point with its integrated ISA100.11a radio complements and extends Honeywell’s OneWireless network, providing wireless coverage for both Wi-Fi applications and ISA100.11a field instruments under a single infrastructure and minimising total cost of ownership.
Honeywell is an industry leader in wireless technology, products and services. The addition of Cisco’s technical capability and experience in mesh infrastructure and Wi-Fi applications will offer industrial automation customers an unparalleled level of choice and expertise when devising future proof wireless solutions to best suit their plant needs.
“The process industry’s appetite for wireless applications continues to increase at an exponential rate, with needs extending far beyond field instruments,” said Raymond Rogowski, global wireless marketing director, Honeywell Process Solutions. “With Cisco’s technology in HPS’ process control systems, new and existing customers in the oil and gas, refining, chemicals and power sectors will have the most comprehensive selection of products and services available to them when planning and implementing wireless network solutions at their facilities. Cisco’s position as a global leader in network technology also ensures that customers will always have the very latest technology at their fingertips.”
“The addition of Cisco’s Access point to Honeywell’s wireless network offering continues the theme of OneWireless as a cost effective, plant-wide wireless mesh infrastructure capable of supporting technologically advanced applications such as rotating assets, VOIP, and security systems. As an industry leader, Honeywell is strategically committed to supporting the huge growth in industrial wireless applications, this access provides an additional pillar to moving the industry forward quickly.”
