Wireless Technologies

Wi-Fi, cellular, RFID, Bluetooth, LoRa, Zigbee, UWB, 2G–6G—the wireless technologies covered by the working group are numerous. The focus is on their capabilities, such as location tracking, data transmission, environmental sensing, identification, and even power transmission. End users and technology providers come together at the meetings to discuss, among other things, potential solutions for planning and optimizing business processes in manufacturing, logistics, and administration. The goal is to facilitate professional exchange, identify key players, and initiate collaborations.

In addition, the working group focuses on innovative approaches such as “multipurpose” uses of wireless networks. For example, the group addresses data transmission in conjunction with the use of sensors for localization (indoor/outdoor) or tracking, taking into account microelectronic and electrical engineering solutions as well as software-based (Software Defined Radio) approaches. Last but not least, the group addresses environmentally sustainable, energy-efficient, and robust wireless data solutions in light of increasing data rates and decreasing transmission times.
