Can Wireless Hart Co-exists With Wi-fi And Other Wireless Technologies? |
|
Answer» YES. Wireless HART has several mechanisms to ensure coexistence with other wireless TECHNOLOGIES. For INSTANCE, IEEE 802.15.4 uses Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) modulation, channel hopping, channel black listing, and Clear Channel ASSESSMENT to minimize the effect of interference from other wireless networks. To minimize interference onto other wireless networks, Wireless HART uses low power radio and very short message bursts. Over 1 Billion hours of proven field operation have proven that Wireless HART does co-exist with other wireless networks. YES.
