When switching devices no longer require power cables and can radio their signals out of their environment, the advantages can be considerable depending on the application in question. Wireless switches are beneficial wherever access in the plant following installation is restricted. The benefits of wireless switchgear technology are now increasingly appreciated in Ex zones as well. steute has a wide range of certified Wireless Ex switches for such applications.
