Industrial Communications Workstream

Industrial Communication is important to provide reliable and regulatory approved connectivity for time critical applications like telehealth, telemedicine, smart cities, smart hubs etc. Industrial Communication will provide new ways of communicating for a broad set of providers, step-change improvements in information exchange, and broadening access and integration of technology.

The goal of the workstream is to provide connectivity to the critical, time sensitive industrial/IOT applications. See below for some of the activities and standards this practice is working on to help grow the ecosystem of invested stakeholders and reach our goals.
