EfficientReliable and Available

• Do you have existing wireless in your plant
  what frequencies are being used?
• Can the new system co-exist with existing
  wireless in your plant?
• How close are you to potential interferences and
  communities?

• Choose a network that supports co-existence and
  conserves limited spectrum.
• Partner with a professional who can assess your
  site and design a reliable system specific to
  your site
• Antenna selection is important select a radio
  thats highest allowable for your area.

Assess any New System in Context of your
Plant-wide Environment and Requirements
10
EfficientReliable and Available

• Can the new system handle multiple hardware
  failures with no degradation in performance?
• What are your uptime and availability
  requirements?

• Ensure redundant paths using self organizing mesh
  functionality
• Powered mesh infrastructure provides a fast mesh
  reformation, in seconds, with no loss of
  performance

Efficient Secure

• Is your facility close to townships or
  communities?
• Do you want to manage just one wireless security
  system or many?
• Can you design and implement the security
  yourself?

• Consider how you will be using the network now
  and in the future
• Choose a network with end-to-end security that
  addresses all risk scenarios.
• Consider a provider that will evaluate your risks
  and help design and implement a solution if
  desired
• Choose a security paradigm that is easy to
  maintain

Efficient Scalable

• What applications will be used now and in the
  future?
• How many devices will you need?
• Will that be enough for the lifetime of your
  plant?

• Consider the plant lifetime in your design
  process anticipate technology innovation
  enabling more devices in unexpected areas

Evaluate The Wireless Networks Ability To Expand
To Meet Your Future Goals
16
Efficient Scalable

• What happens when you go beyond the limit of
  your network capacity? Can the network start
  small grow?
• Will more devices degrade the network
  performance?

• Research and select a system that meets your
  current expectations but can scale to meet
  unanticipated needs
• Expect to double
• Avoid a rip-and-replace strategy to protect
  investment in training, security, and
  infrastructure.

Simple

• Is your workforce familiar with wireless
  technology?
• Can you afford to hire new employees to install,
  maintain, and expand your network?

• Ensure your network can integrate with your wired
  networks with a simple and secure structure
• Minimize software suites
• Consider all plant needs to standardize on
  hardware and software
• Evaluate a convenient security and authentication
  key management without sacrificing security.
• Choose a provider that can help train, install,
  support, and maintain your solution.

Simple Power Management

• How long do you want your devices to be self
  powered?
• Will your reporting rate needs be sustainable
  with self contained power, or will the device
  require an add-on power source?

• Look for a system with deterministic power
  consumption to ensure predictable maintenance.
• Look for power management that fits both your
  alerting requirements and your battery
  replacement goals.

Consider Your Reporting Rate Requirements
21
Simple Power Management

• Will your environment support add-on power
  sources, i.e. solar?
• What level of predictable maintenance schedule
  do you require?
• Are you willing to accept proprietary batteries?

• Look for a system with deterministic power
  consumption to ensure predictable maintenance.
• Look for power management that fits both your
  alerting requirements and your battery
  replacement goals.

• Which applications will you use over the wireless
  network in the future?

• Keep it simple a single network reduces risk
  and support costs

What communication protocols will those apps
require? Will you need these protocols running
simultaneously?

• Consider a system that is open, standards-based,
  and upgradeable to ensure future viability

Be Certain that Your Wireless Network Can Support
all Your Wireless Needs

• Can you afford to have your alarms and alerts
  transmitted back at the same rate as monitoring
  information?

• Research existing and pending regulations for
  alerting requirements
• Safety shower requirements alarmed and logged
  within 5-10 seconds
• Sequence of events time stamping requirements
• Choose a solution provider that understands
  industrial requirements for integrating to
  control systems.
