It only seems like Ethernet is everywhere. Sure, it underpins pretty much all networks, but there remain many holdout places where it can’t go, or where users are reluctant to send it. This delays or strands valuable signals and increasingly sophisticated data produced by intelligent sensors and instruments in the field, but it also prevents them from getting back analyses or instructions that could optimize their processes.
