From the good folks at WINA, this webcast will take place on Monday: 

WIRELESS AND YOUR DCS - ARE YOU READY?

A live webinar presented by WINA (Wireless Industrial Networking Alliance) and the collaboration of three of its members from Honeywell, Invensys and Yokogawa. Moderated by Andrew Bond, contributing editor of Control Global magazine and publisher of the monthly newsletter Industrial Automation INSIDER.

Wireless communications are going to be part of your control system's architecture and strategy in the near future - if they are not already - and that is a given. The good news is that you are largely in control of how the consequences play out for your control system and process plant.

This webinar will examine the many ways in which wireless communications can be integrated into your control architecture, what different backhaul technologies mean to you, and how security is not an absolute - but something that can be engineered to meet your specific situation.

Most importantly, you will come away with questions you should ask your vendor regarding wireless, security, solutions, and meeting your expectations. There will be a live Q&A to address specific questions as well.
