The Industrial Wi-Fi Shop Podcast – Ep. 26 Industrial Wireless Challenges Round Table

In this round table episode of the Industrial Wi-Fi Shop Podcast, Scott, Jeremy, Justin, and Troy dig into the real-world challenges that come with designing, troubleshooting, and securing wireless networks in industrial environments.

The Industrial Wi-Fi Shop Podcast – Ep. 25 Industrial Wireless Clients

In this episode, Scott and Jeremy break down the operational modes of several leading industrial wireless client radios, including the Phoenix Contact 1021, ProSoft RLX2, and Siemens SCALANCE, explaining when and why you'd choose each one. The conversation digs into the real-world importance of Layer 2 transparency for protocols like PROFINET and PROFIsafe, and how technologies like VxLAN are making standards-based deterministic wireless more accessible. The hosts also tackle the often-overlooked challenge of passive clients on industrial networks and how NAT and IP masquerading can keep them reachable without breaking your architecture. Whether you're retrofitting legacy serial devices or building out a full IIoT data pipeline, this episode has the technical depth to help you make smarter wireless decisions on the plant floor.

Jerry Olla from Hamina dropped buy to talk about the Hamina tools and what it means for wireless in the realms of OT. Their New tools for surveys and full suite of wireless design software are game changers for industrial wireless surveys.

The Industrial Wi-Fi Shop Podcast – Ep. 23 What’s on the Bench?

The 2025 year end round up with the IWS guys talking with others from the wireless and OT communities about what's currently on their test benches and lots of other great stuff!

The Industrial Wi-Fi Shop Podcast – Ep. 22 Industrial Strength, Wireless Freedom!

Josh Varghese sits down and knocks off the dirt from his boots with The Industrial Wi-Fi Shop team to talk about the OT infrastructure that it takes to support industrial wireless deployments. From general Wi-Fi access to sensor suites, from HaLoW to wireless I/O, they all require wires and network protocols on the back end.
