We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Wireless Technology",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Temperature transmitters continue growth from
ARC Advisory Group, which we summarised at the time by saying "Propelled by a booming automation market and robust capital expenditures, the temperature transmitter market has seen strong growth in recent years".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Wireless technology makes hazardous sensor links from
General Monitors: "General Monitors now provides secure and reliable wireless communication for its gas and flame detector product lines".
In September 2007, we covered the news from Hart Communication Foundation
- take a look at Networking organisations collaborate on wireless
which says: "Three leading organisations dedicated to control network technology have formed a Wireless Co-operation Team to collaborate on wireless technology in the manufacturing and process industries".
Take a look also at the news release from Phoenix Contact, Radio modules allow wireless networking,
as well as Infra-red thermometer suits furnace use from Land Instruments International,
and Bluetooth module integrates Ethernet components from Phoenix Contact.
