Mobility Field Day 12 Announcement
WiFi and CURWB simultaneously
- Remove need for parallel infrastructure
- Is this a headache? (Yes)
- Implications
- Local and FlexConnect support
Drones in manufacturing
- site surveys
- But what else?
- RFID inventory like at BMW
- LiDar mapping?
Siemens
- LTE backwards compatible
- CBRS
- Private 5G
- Public carriers (it depends) certifications in process for some.
- WiFi 7 rumblings, I hear it is on the roadmap
Phoenix Contact
- 2 current Wi-Fi 6 industrial wireless access point models
- 6e models in the works
Waveriders Collective
- ad hoc 5G deployments
- will these be usable for bringing plants back online/bridging a permanent infrastructure
- POCs
R3
- Edge X is 802.11 but has m2 slot and is looking to support echo ring at some point.
- soft PLC on board
- Edge X is the platform as well.
Fortinet
- Products coming out next year will include a host of industrial geared hardware.
- WiFi 7 and 5G capabilities.
- Leaning on track record and security focus.
Aunex
- axe client (data sheet)
- Data Eagle (Scott will like this) 2.4/BT/900 MHz time sensitive protocol focus
- CIP etc
RTLS? Are any listeners deploying this? Send us an email.
Sub Gig
- Meshtastic, is it useable in Industrial or is it still sorta niche/fun (Line of sight)

Wi-Fi 7 possibilities in Industry, manufacturing and safety
- Are massive gains in throughput a selling point for manufacturing
- 4096 QAM
- Massive channel widths (320 plus non-contiguous)
- What about Multi-Link Operation (MLO), a feature that increases capacity by simultaneously sending and receiving data across different frequency bands and channels. (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, 6 GHz)
- Wi-Fi 7 claims dramatically lower overall latency
- Probably going to be great for camera systems.
Oscium/Metageek
- Q1 planned discussion around the merger, spectrum analysis, potential new hardware,
old friends
WLAN Pi
- App and API
- M4 Plus
- OTG
- Go
- HaLow surveying?
WLPC 2025
- Surveying private cellular Mark Houtz looks like it is on the horizon. Heatmaps, pcaps, oh my
- https://markhoutz.com/
- Presenting on this at WLPC Phoenix 2025
- WLPC 10 talk on site surveys in machine cells and entertainment…
WiCo
-Chapel Hill NC- 5/14 -Scott presenting on …
-Nashville 5/29- Jeremy possible presentation on CURWB
