The Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA) announced the world’s first Wi-Fi 6 Industrial Enterprise and IoT trial with Mettis Aerospace, as part of its ongoing Wi-Fi 6 program.
Mettis, a designer and manufacturer of precision-forged, machined and sub-assembled components, primarily for the aerospace and defense industry, will work with WBA members to test several use cases on a Wi-Fi 6 network at its 27-acre West Midlands facility.
The trial, the first of a series of global trials, will enable the use of augmented reality, real-time monitoring of equipment, and a host of other applications in an enterprise network environment designed to digitize Mettis’ production line.
