Benefits for Your Company

For USERS, a well-designed and managed product certification process reduces costs, time, and risk in the selection and deployment of wireless products and systems:

Instant recognition of a product’s or system’s wireless communication characteristics and capabilities.
Assurance of predictable performance ‘out of the box’ for ISA100 Wireless Compliant products and systems leading to improved process reliability and safety.
Ability to procure ISA100 Wireless Compliant products and systems that will securely and reliably interoperate within any ISA100 wireless network.
Single forum for the product and system test specification requirements ensuring your needs are understood and accounted for.
Technical support for the deployment and configuration of ISA100 Wireless Compliant products and systems.
Time and cost savings for validation and verification of wireless communication characteristics and capabilities.

For SUPPLIERS AND INTEGRATORS, the certification process provides a single compliance framework and an ISA100 Wireless Compliant stamp of approval, resulting in faster time to market and lower development and integration costs:

Ability to make and substantiate clear claims of compliance to a consensus, open industry standard via the ISA100 Wireless Compliant designation.
Technical support for the development and deployment of ISA100 Wireless Compliant products and systems.
Profiles to support the development of the products or systems that users want to purchase.
Commitment to a common need for a shared wireless communication vision to be executed by suppliers, users, and integrators.
Products and systems that interoperate--enabling more flexible system configurations that allow consistent and predictable performance in any ISA100 wireless network.

And, for standards bodies and government agencies developing industrial wireless standards, the ISA100 Wireless Compliant program promotes better, field-tested specifications that are clearly being followed by industry.
