A UOC team has carried out the first parameterization of a millimetre-band signal propagation model applied to an industrial environment
It is the first step towards high performance wireless communications in the manufacturing industry
Despite significant advances in wireless technology, the manufacturing industry continues to turn to wired forms of communication such as Ethernet or fibre optics for its most critical tasks. A new study by the associate professor Cristina Cano and the full professor Xavier Vilajosana, researchers from the Wireless Networks (WiNe) group at the Internet Interdisciplinary Institute (IN3) and from the UOC's Faculty of Computer Science, Multimedia and Telecommunications, opens the door to the use of wireless technologies with
