ISA100.11a Devices Gain Approvals

Nov. 19, 2009
ISA100 Wireless Compliance Institute Successfully Deployed, Tested and Approved ISA100.11a Standard Devices

Within days of approval of the ISA100.11a standard by the ISA Standards and Practices Board, the ISA100 Wireless Compliance Institute (www.isa.org/isa100compliant) successfully deployed, tested and approved ISA100.11a standard devices in a multi-vendor installation of the technology at an Arkema plant in Crosby, Texas (www.arkema-inc.com). The objective of the installation is to demonstrate interoperability among multiple vendor devices using the ISA100.11a technology. 

"With the standard ratified, multiple vendors supporting it and big industry players coming onboard, the ISA100.11a standard is here to stay, so we can develop and grow its use in our plant", noted Didier Auber, the Arkema Crosby plant manager.
