24 Million Industrial Wireless Sensing Points in 2016, Says ON World

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) June 21, 2012

An erratic global economy did not prevent the industrial Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) market from doubling over the past two years, according to a recently published report by ON World, a global technology research firm. Early adopters have demonstrated that WSN is secure, reliable and can be targeted at new monitoring and control solutions that were previously deemed too expensive or located in prohibitively difficult environments. Networks are expanding and ON World identified several deployments with over 3,000 WSN nodes.

The migration to standards based wireless mesh systems in the process automation space has replaced proprietary systems faster than what our 2010 survey indicated, says Mareca Hatler, ON Worlds research director. However, competition for WSN protocols continues to be intense and point-to-point and point-to-multipoint wireless systems are experiencing high growth rates in key verticals such as oil and gas.

For the 2012 industrial Wireless Sensor Network report, ON World collaborated with the International Society of Automation (ISA), HART Communication Foundation (HCF) and the Wireless Industrial Networking Alliance (WINA) to conduct a survey on WSN with 216 industrial automation professionals. ON World also interviewed 55+ individuals with leading industrial automation vendors, suppliers and industry groups.

In ON World’s survey, 70% of the end users are planning WSN or additional WSN deployments within the next 18 months. The survey also found that approximately an equal number of respondents prefer WirelessHART or a hybrid strategy that includes WirelessHART and ISA100.11a.

The standards migration is changing the industrial WSN landscape. This is demonstrated by Linears acquisition of Dust Networks and a growing number of new entrants such as AwiaTech, E-Senza and Softing that are focused on open platforms and lowering development costs. Industrial wireless sensing and control opportunities are also growing for non-mesh 802.15.4, WiFi, Bluetooth/802.15.1 and Ultra Wideband.

Installed wireless industrial field devices will increase by 553% between 2011 and 2016 when there will be 24 million wireless-enabled sensors and actuators, or sensing points, deployed worldwide. At this time, 39% will be used for new applications that are only feasible with wireless sensing.

ON Worlds recently published report, Industrial Wireless Sensor Networks, covers the global market for industrial Wireless Sensor Networking with 5-year forecasts by geography, landscape (e.g. process, vertical industries, discrete/factory automation), target market (e.g. oil & gas, refining/petrochemicals, chemicals, food & beverage, etc.), application and technology. WSN protocols covered include 802.15.4 (mesh and non-mesh), WiFi and other wireless technologies including point-to-point/point-to-multipoint systems. The report also provides the key findings from the recently completed survey as well as an extensive technology evaluation and competitive analysis of 85 companies in five product segments.

24 Million Industrial Wireless Sensing Points in 2016, Says ON World

Oil & Gas Booming with the Help of Wireless Sensor Networks

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) July 11, 2012

Wireless Sensor Networking (WSN) has emerged as a key technology for accelerating oil and gas exploration and advancing the latest extraction techniques, according to a recently published report by ON World, a global technology research firm.

North America may be on its way to becoming energy independent, largely due to shale oil and gas, horizontal drilling, hydraulic fracturing and advancements with sensor and wireless technologies. In addition to using wide area wireless networks to manage pipelines and production from remote locations, oil and gas companies are also turning to wireless sensor networks (WSN) for faster and more flexible sensing and control solutions.

Oil and gas represents some of the most inhospitable environments with intense and challenging communications requirements, says Mareca Hatler, ON Worlds research director. As early adopters, oil and gas companies have demonstrated that WSN solves critical monitoring and control solutions in the most difficult locations.

A few of the oil and gas applications that are currently benefiting from WSN technologies include the following:

Wellhead Automation

Assisted by WSN technology, oil and gas companies have been drilling nearly twice as many wells as a few years ago and 90% of these are energy producing wells. Wireless sensors are also enabling a new generation of equipment health monitoring systems that can be deployed in harsh and remote locations such as offshore rigs in the North Sea. Standards based wireless mesh systems (e.g. Emerson, GE, Honeywell and Yokogawa) are gaining traction along with long range wireless sensor systems by pioneers such as Accutech (Schneider), Luna Innovations (Ferguson Beauregard), OleumTech and vMonitor.

Seismic Surveys

Within the next few years there could be millions of seismic sensors installed around the world, largely due to advances with sensor technologies such as MEMS (e.g. HP/Shell and Lumedyne) as well as wireless communications. The latest wireless seismic surveying systems by HP, Sercel, INOVA and Wireless Seismic simplify and expand the possibilities of conducting surveys deeper underground and in remote regions that were previously impossible.

Pipelines & Corrosion Monitoring

Wireless flow, pressure, level, temperature and valve position monitoring are used to streamline pipeline operation and storage while increasing safety and regulatory compliance. In addition, wireless sensing solutions are targeted at the billions of dollars per year that is spent managing pipeline corrosion. While corrosion is a growing problem for the aging pipeline infrastructure it can also lead to leaks, emissions and even deadly explosions in production facilities and refineries. Omnimetrix, Permasense and Rohrback Cosasco Systems each have unique wireless corrosion monitoring offerings.

ON World recently completed a survey with 216 industrial automation professionals in collaboration with the International Society of Automation (ISA), HART Communication Foundation (HCF) and the Wireless Industrial Networking Alliance (WINA). Over half of the respondents are involved with oil and gas and 81% of the oil and gas respondents are planning WSN applications within the next 18 months. In addition, 8% of the oil and gas companies have deployed over 1,000 wireless field devices.

ON Worlds report, Oil & Gas Wireless Sensor Networks, covers the global market for wireless sensor networking in oil and gas exploration, pipelines, refining and petrochemicals. It includes 5-year forecasts by geography, by target market, by application, and by technology (e.g. 802.15.4, ZigBee, WiFi, and point-to-point/multipoint wireless) as well as the survey results, an extensive technology evaluation, and a competitive analysis of 70 companies.

ETech 7 Inc. Announces Methods To Keep Check Security Breach of a Wireless Network, Inside Outside Office Premises

New York, NY (PRWEB) October 17, 2012

ETech 7 Inc, a managed IT services company, has announced methods to check security breach of a wireless network, inside and outside office premises. Wireless is an important technology that has gained a good amount of popularity in a very short span of time. It is something that has given the freedom to completely enjoy portability of gadgets with lesser hassles. Wireless network, as the name suggests, no wires are required to create a network rather a wireless device that acts as a sender and other devices, receivers connect to each other in a common radius.

Although, it is a very beneficial innovation that one can add to his office premises with minimal expenses, there are certain risks involved that need to be tackled very wisely. When there is a wireless network set up in the office, employees enjoy the mobility but on the other hand the wireless signals can also be received outside the building and hence increases the risk of data leakage and data leakage is the biggest enemy of any organization. Getting IT consulting from an IT company or expert is vital to ensure that all proper security measures are in place.

The additional level of network setup required to put up a wireless network is not simply that of installing a few Wi-Fi routers. As this is the most visible and obvious component in this type of network, we can say it is just the beginning. Due to the highly insecure nature of more wireless networks, you also need to deal with data leakage and with more complicated connectivity. Every new technology requires that your company’s networking services be kept tight with regard to data management so that proprietary information is maintained. said Emil Isanov, CEO at ETech 7 Inc.

There are certain ways that can really help escape data leakage like one can get his walls painted in a color that does not allow the signals to penetrate the wall and go out of the building. This will not allow anybody to get access to the data from outside the building but may prevent movability of the employees and serve to restrict certain freedom.

Importance Of Wireless Network Security

Wireless connections have become an increasingly popular way of providing internet access. Many people prefer it for their home connections as well as in the workplace because of the high speed Internet connectivity and flexibility of usage without a LAN connection. Though wireless has made providing internet access quite easy, it also presents many potential dangers in the form of a number of security problems. Configuring the necessary security features can sometimes feel confusing, time-consuming and non-intuitive.

As computer networks are the most common method for business to send all manner of data, classified or otherwise, security becomes a highly important part of the wireless network structure. The security level should always be updated and maintained to ensure the proper protection of data integrity and confidentiality that one would expect from a wired network connection. There is the dangerous possibility of any wireless network adapter within the range of another network adapter to easily access the other network.

According to some statistics, the amount of non secure wireless access points is steadily growing, with a large percentage of access points having little or no security enabled. An increase in availability of free tools over the internet has provided many with the tools needed to abuse unprotected wireless networks, thus posing a serious threat to businesses.

There are many reasons for this widespread lack of security. One source is ignorance or laziness on the part of network administrators. Particularly in small businesses and home connections, people are unaware of the seriousness of this issue and become complacent, not worrying so long as they are able to use the wireless connection to browse the internet or access files remotely.

By overlooking wireless security, businesses are essentially inviting a seemingly limitless pool of opportunistic hackers to access data transmitted across the unprotected network. After all, an open network not only provides unmonitored access to the internet, but also leaves open access to saved files and confidential data.

Poor security can result from even the simplest mistakes. For example, many businesses forget to change the default administrator passwords that hardware is shipped with. These passwords are readily available online, so it’s hardly challenge to acquire them. Additionally, all wireless hardware comes with a standard system ID. Like default administrative passwords, this information is easily found online. Simply changing these passwords to something unique can go a long way to securing a wireless network.

Another mistake often made by small businesses using wireless networks is neglecting to put a firewall in place. Many wireless routers have rudimentary firewalls built in. It is important to learn how the firewall works so that it can be configured properly. Of equal importance for security is enabling encryption. While there will always be methods to circumvent these measures, they will certainly keep all but the most determined hackers from causing trouble.

Security should be a priority for all businesses using a wireless network. Implementing such measures will prevent unauthorized access to vital financial information and other documents, thus keeping your business safe.

It is very difficult to detect digital hiking and it is also difficult to prevent unauthorized access of wireless network solution whether for personal and professional use. Hackers don’t look for personal revenge here; they are only searching unsecure WI FI connections to utilize for their own means. When the hacker utilizes your wireless connection for downloading programs then you will face the decrease internet speed for your utilization. For fastest internet accessibility you have to secure your wireless connection. So here we are discussing few points make our wireless network solution hacker proof.

At first you have to figure out your gate way IP address. In your command prompt type ‘ipconfig’ without quotations then enter to be listed on ‘Default Gateway’. Open your internet browser and type your IP address exactly how it is written in address bar and then press enter. It will help you to enter into your login page for your router. Set your login ID and password.

At second step change your default password and login ID. Put difficult pass words; don’t give just name or your birth date. Use both letters and numeric words for better protections or else someone gains access then can easily crack your password and it according to their liking.

At third step change your SSID, which is used as the name of your wireless network solution.

If your SSID has set as default manufacturer ID then it can easily open by the hackers and they can even change your router’s settings. So change your SSID as soon as possible.

when you are searching for open networks at that time your the names of open networks will easily shown on devices, so if you disable your broadcasting of SSID then other people won’t be able to see your existing network and you  can see it by manually.

Install WPA2 encryption, because it is more secure than WPA and WEP.

Change your network password or Pre-shared key of your wireless network solution. Your Pre-shared key set up will be difficult for the hacker to crack.  Use both uppercase and lowercase letters to make impossible for the hacker to crack. Even you can change your passwords with in every month gap for more security.

At seventh step enable your MAC Address Authentication. Every device has different MAC Address which can identify as an individual on a network. MAC Address Authentication prohibits the outside device connections to your wireless network solution. Make sure when you enter the MAC Address into the access list that you do it in the format required by the router, where you have to change all hyphens into colons. This step is required for all computers connecting for your wireless network solution.
