Customers across the globe and across industries are extending their enterprise network to new places: roadways and intersections, utility grids, manufacturing lines, or remote operations for wind farms. They are also prioritizing sustainability across their operations. To digitize these environments and build a greener 
future, these customers must overcome challenges from complex connectivity needs and managing highly distributed assets through security and talent shortages.
Solving these challenges takes a new approach. Cisco contends that a strong partnership between all technology teams – whether security, networking, or operations – is essential. Organizations need a unified, cloud-delivered approach that brings the power of the enterprise IT network to scale and secure the industrial edge. The company’s recently announced cloud-based IoT Operations Dashboard is designed to leverage the cloud to accelerate operational efficiency between these teams, reduce downtime, and enhance overall safety and security.
Expanding Network Connectivity Choices for Industrial Use Cases
As the network extends further into operational areas, Cisco continues to expand its industrial networking portfolio to ensure customer success for a wide variety of deployment scenarios and locations.
Secure and faster connectivity for space-constrained use cases. The new Cisco Catalyst IE3100 Rugged Series industrial ethernet switches are small, DIN-rail mounted, fully managed, all gigabit ethernet switches intended to connect robots, controllers, and more in harsh industrial, outdoor, and tight spaces, like electrical cabinets. These switches run the IOS-XE operating software with built-in trust and security and are managed by the Cisco DNA Center.
Connect to more devices wirelessly. Even on the move. The new Catalyst IW9165E Rugged Wireless Client is purpose-built to reliably connect mobile industrial assets, such as autonomous robots (AMRs) and automated guided vehicles (AGVs). It is designed to give users flexibility via optional deployment of standard Wi-Fi or in a Cisco Ultra-Reliable Wireless Backhaul (Cisco URWB) infrastructure to deliver ultra-reliable connectivity with zero packet loss and seamless handoffs.
Fiberless wireless backhaul. The new Catalyst IW9165D Heavy Duty Access Point provides wireless backhaul with built-in antennas that’s easy to deploy when fiber or cellular is not an option. External antennas can be added to support fixed and mobile use cases simultaneously.
Collectively these innovations are intended to accelerate a strong partnership between IT and OT teams – helping organizations simplify IT for distributed networks, securely connect their IoT operations at scale, and experience significant gains in productivity and efficiency.
