Not so long ago wireless networking was only used in specific vertical industries mainly as wire replacements.
Today WLAN and WAN technologies have developed to the point where those are now being used
across all industry sectors, but still mainly in consumer type applications.

Total Bus Passenger and Vehicle Data Gathering System
European wide ticket, passenger count and vehicle mileage/service data gathering/updating

Remote controlled Warehouse Crane Control and Steering System

Paper Mill Service Forecasting System
Sensors (vibration, etc…) transmit information to WLAN boxes via bluetooth/serial cables.
WLAN transmits the data to the central computer. In a typical paper mill this saves several
kilometers of cable and the number of sensors can be increased considerably compared to
traditional cable systems. Remote monitoring from anywhere in the world is possible.
