The growth and expansion of private wireless broadband networks in the industrial market is on a definite upward growth and has been for the past decade. Oil, gas, chemical and utilities in particular are typically characterized as fast-paced, dynamic organizations, companies and co-ops who are constantly under pressure to streamline operations, reduce costs, and increase yield. As a result of these challenges and coupled with the difficult environments, terrain or water they often exist in, the industry has been seeking alternative communications networks that will handle these demands. The Industrial industry is commanding faster and more reliable networks to transport their vital communications in order to improve operational efficiencies while also responding to external pressures to increase safety and security of their equipment, facilities, and property. The implementation of private broadband networks continue to bring true advancements to include:

• Rapid diagnosis for monitoring and management
• Ability to expand coverage areas
• Scalability to meet future needs and additional applications
