ISA100.11a Completely Obviates the Need for WirelessHART
As wireless networks and applications become more pervasive in the industrial market, users are faced with the decision of choosing a network based on one of
two emerging technologies, ISA100.11a or WirelessHART. This paper addresses the users’ dilemma for selecting an appropriate infrastructure technology and
demonstrates that the choice is easy: ISA100.11a offers a more powerful and comprehensive architecture which provides all the benefits of WirelessHART and
more, therefore obviating the need for WirelessHART.
