Research Triangle Park, NC—4 November 2020—The ISA100 Wireless Compliance Institute (WCI) announced today the launch of a new system certification program. The new certification offers assurances of system interoperability with ISA100 Wireless certified devices and stacks.
As adoption of wireless has matured, systems have scaled to thousands of devices, and applications have expanded so that control and safety over wireless are now routine. Modern large-scale wireless networks cover entire operating sites: tank farms, jetties, offshore platforms, and more. These wireless networks serve mission-critical needs, involve substantial capital investment, and are subject to rigorous design engineering requirements. End users and EPCs seek proven technology with these important deployments and now demand rigorous certifications at the system level.
