Wireless: Extending the Reach of Safety

Safety is a non-negotiable issue for engineers because they are ultimately responsible for the safety of all facility workers who may come into contact with or close proximity to the systems they design and build. As a result, the default method of safety design has long involved a hardwired, redundant safety network that fails to a safe state in the event of an area breach, power loss, or other compromising event.
