Communication and transmission technologies

Discover the possibilities of industrial communication technology

A reliable communication infrastructure is the foundation for digitalization. Depending on the application, there are various technologies available for transmitting data from A to B: wireless and wire-based solutions, fieldbus and Ethernet protocols, copper and fiber-optic cable transmission, and much more.
To simplify the decision for your application, we will present the most important communication and transmission technologies on the next few pages.
 

New communication technologies

Consistency from the sensor to the cloud

Where previously just a few devices were networked via Ethernet, large networks have already been developed. Within the framework of digitalization, Industry 4.0, and IIoT, many more field devices will be integrated in the future. In addition to control data, these will also transfer demand-oriented information to various destinations within the network and in the cloud. New technologies such as TSN, SPE, APL, and 5G are necessary so that these data volumes can be managed and so that real-time-critical applications can continue to be operated.
