The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) has released IEC 62657-1:2017 for “Industrial communication networks – Wireless communication networks – Part 1: Wireless communication requirements and spectrum considerations” and is now available on the IEC webstore.
Description: “ IEC 62657-1:2017 provides the wireless communication requirements dictated by the applications of wireless communication systems in industrial automation, and requirements of related context. The requirements are specified in a way that is independent of the wireless technology employed. The requirements are described in detail and in such a way as to be understood by a large audience, including readers who are not familiar with the industry applications.
