The concept of network communication
Understand the roles of routers and switches clearly with a diagram!
Advantech's network and industrial IoT solutions provide a highly reliable communication infrastructure that encompasses wired Ethernet to the latest wireless technologies. **Key Features** - Multifaceted Wired Communication: Compliant with standard TCP/IP and IEEE 802.3. Flexible network construction is possible with switches, routers, optical fiber (SFP/GBIC, WDM technology), and PoE (802.3bt) technology that supports up to 90W power supply. - Diverse Wireless Networks: In addition to Wi-Fi (802.11a/b/g/n/ac), it widely supports Bluetooth, ZigBee, and low-power wide-area networks (LPWAN) such as LoRa and NB-IoT, providing optimal connections according to the installation environment. - Optimization for Industry and IoT: Strongly promotes the smart transformation of factories, offices, and stores, supporting data utilization in collaboration with proprietary IoT platforms such as EdgeLink and WISE-PaaS. With robust hardware and advanced communication technologies, it contributes to the digital transformation (DX) of various industrial sites and the realization of an "Intelligent Planet."

Applications/Examples of results
【For those with such concerns and backgrounds】 I want to promote industrial IoT and factory DX, but I don't know the optimal network configuration. I want to organize and study the distinctions between wired (PoE/fiber) and wireless (Wi-Fi/LoRa, etc.) and the latest standards. I want to grasp the overall picture of the communication infrastructure suitable for the installation environment (environmental resistance and extensive communication). 【How to use this document】 You can systematically understand the basic concepts of industrial network communication and the latest communication technologies. Please use it as a foundational document for organizing your company's implementation environment and challenges, as well as for internal discussions and study. 【Steps after utilization and examples of implementation results】 After understanding the concepts, Advantech will provide total support for selecting the optimal hardware and communication devices tailored to each customer's site environment (smart factories, stores, outdoor monitoring, etc.) and for system construction.
