Market Growth • Industrial Wireless Market to grow by 18% to 2016 - IMS Research • Hazardous Area Equipment - 5.2% Growth in EMEA in 2013. 8.9% in 2014 / 15 • Fastest growing industrial sector recorded by Oil & Gas • Extronics - significant increase in wireless enquiries • Engaged by major players - Cisco, Aruba etc
Market Drivers • More certified client devices; mobile phones, tablets etc. • MIMO technology – works well in multipath environments, plant structures etc. • WiFi based Location & Tracking platforms • WiFi based plant maintenance & inspection • “Mobile worker”
What problem are we addressing? • Cost of installation • Use of certified antennas • Future proofing • Serviceable • Coverage • New technology - Gigabit / PoE+ / MIMO
iWAP107 – Overview • Ex d & Ex i - Zone 1 ATEX & IECEx Certified (II&III) • C1,C2, C3 D1 US & Canadian - in progress • -20°C to +60°C (AP dependant) -40°C in progress • Can accept ‘Virtually’ any radio • Use non-certified antennas e.g. iANT2xx range • Supports Gigabit, Dual Band & MIMO AP’s • Available in 316L Stainless Steel Enclosure
iUPS107 Features • Various power options; AC / DC / PoE • Up to 8 intrinsically safe antenna outputs • Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre options • Optional surge protection on RF & Ethernet • Heating options for increased ambient range • Industrial Class PSU – highest possible protection from AC surge – continued operation
Looking Inside… • Modular Design • Removable Chassis • Easier future upgrades
iUPS107 Features • Options for remote and direct antenna mounting positions (see datasheet) • N-type RF connectors; cables & antennas screw directly to enclosure (quick install)
Our competitors - Europe Stahl Bartec / Pixavi MTL Kermaz
Our competitors – U.S. Analynk PCTEL Terrawave
Our competitors • Stahl – Ex d Enclosure Certificate + System D of C • Use certified antennas (iANT100) • Universal – Any AP
Our competitors • Bartec/ Pixavi – Ex d + Ex e, and also just Ex d • Enclosure Certificate + System D of C • Universal – Any AP • -20°Cto +40°C • Use certified antennas
Our competitors • MTL – Intrinsically safe PoE powered (via barrier in safe area) • Must be mounted in separate IP6x enclosure • Must use IS PSU • Fully Certified • Not Universal
Our competitors • Analynk (U.S. market) - Ex d Enclosure Certificate + System D of C • Use certified antennas • -45°C to +80°C ??? Above ambient range of AP’s – no cooling provided !!?? • Very competitive!
Our competitors • Other U.S. competitors also provide Ex d solutions using Solexy coupler: • PCTEL • Terrawave
Typical installation – Ex e Antennas • Cisco 3502 Device (6 antennas) • 1x power & 1x data • Total of 8x glands @30mins / gland = 4hrs! • 30 x iWAP107’s = 15 days!
Typical installation – iWAP107 • Cisco 3502 Device (6 antennas) • 1x power & 1x data • Total of 2x glands @30mins / gland = 1hr! • 30 x iWAP’s = 4 days
Key Messages & Selling Points • FULLY CERTIFIED PRODUCT • Use any non-certified antenna which… • Allows optimised & improved coverage… • Fewer AP’s – cost savings (buyer) • Quicker install – cost savings (installation)
Key Messages & Selling Points • Future proof – old hardware can be replaced quicker and without certification costs • Easier service and replacement • Flexible options: • Antenna positions • Power • Fibre • Heating
‘Total Cost of Ownership’ • Think ‘COVERAGE’ !!! • Fewer AP’s covering a larger area • Choosing higher gain or directional antennas can vastly improve the coverage area of a single Access point • List price of iWAP107 may be greater than competitor, but we cover more area using any antenna e.g. directional, high gain etc.
Example – total cost of ownership • iWAP107 with 6dBi (iANT213) &12dBi (iANT219) vS 2dBi Omni.
