How do end users REALLY feel about wireless interoperability? Let's ask!

Oct. 8, 2008

Since it is clear that the current draft of ISA100.11a is incompatible with WirelessHART (already an IEC Publically Available Specification, and headed to being an IEC standard shortly), I've been wondering what the end user community thinks about this.

Frost and Sullivan's Syed Tauseef Ahmad has saved me the necessity of doing my own survey, again.

I've posted it on ControlGlobal.com for everyone to read:
