Industrial wireless applications are so new, it's hard to find people with experience to provide advice. If your company has installed or is considering wireline or wireless networking infrastructure products for industrial operation/facility use, you can help Control Engineering and Venture Development Corp. (VDC), an independent market research firm, gain some valuable knowledge — and get some value for yourself in the process.

If you specify or will specify any of the following, VDC would like to ask you some questions about the applications:

• Networking Components: access points, bridges, console servers, device servers, fiber optic transceivers, gateways, hubs, modems, multiplexers, repeaters, routers, switches, transceivers
• Interconnect Products: connectors, cable & cord sets, distribution boxes
• Antennas for wireless networking components
• Network Management Software

All who compete the survey will receive a whitepaper summary of the findings, and will be entered into a drawing for one of five US$150 checks, or US$150 Amazon.com gift certificates to be awarded.
