Emerson Process Management has introduced the Smart Wireless Gateway 1552WU, a Wi-Fi access point that connects WirelessHART sensors to the control network.
Jointly developed as an integral part of Cisco’s IoT Systems, the 1552WU Gateway is a fully-featured mesh access point that simplifies Wi-Fi and WirelessHART installations, lowers costs and reduces deployment time.
Users no longer have to run fiber optic cables for ethernet communication to every WirelessHART Gateway. The 1552WU seamlessly connects to neighboring access points allowing complete wireless coverage, with only local power wired to the 1552WU.
