Sensor networks are great boons to any infrastructure. It allows for much quicker reactions and much better tuning. However, this network doesn't need to be public.
I can see how you'd pick the internet as a base-layer for this network, which would be a bad idea. The alternative is building an entire separate network, which seems almost un doable.
- ldp01 9y agoFor some industries it makes sense. Rail and power networks use their own physical infrastructure as they have specific latency and reliability requirements for protection and signalling systems and it's convenient to just build their own comms networks alongside their other infrastructure.
- rocqua 9y agoRail and power also already have physical infrastructure and property along which they can setup networks.
