1420 Wireless Gateway
Wireless-2
Smart Wireless Solutions
A robust wireless solution is much more than the sum of its parts; it is the result of innovative integration with
consideration given to every aspect of the overall system. A Smart Wireless solution consists of the measurement
device, the self-organizing network and easy host integration. Emerson Process Management will offer a full
portfolio of wireless solutions enabled by self-organizing networks.
SELF-ORGANIZING NETWORKS
Self-organizing networks combine the high reliability
of wired networks with the flexibility and low cost of
wireless networks.
Two key components of reliability are the availability
of multiple communication paths for each device and
automatic path configuration.These innovations
result in data reliability over 99%. Data reliability is an
indication of the amount of measurement data that is
lost due to communication failures. The multi-path
communications used enable the wireless networks
to be deployed without a site survey - saving the end
user time and money.
Robust networks in challenging environments
Self-organizing networks are inherently well suited
for use in challenging environments. The multi-path
communication routes and self-forming
characteristics are able to eliminate the effects of
obstacles such as scaffolding and infrastructure by
re-organizing the network around the obstacles.
1420 Wireless Gateway is scalable
The 1420 Wireless Gateway is capable of supporting
up to 100 wireless field devices. Once your initial
network has been installed, it is quick and easy to
add additional devices allowing you to plan a large
installation and add devices over time.

devices.
LAYERED SECURITY KEEPS YOUR
NETWORK SAFE
In today’s digital world, communication security is
becoming a concern for everyone. Emerson
understands the needs of users to be able to control
the level of security in wireless networks.
Communication security is the ability to pass
verifiable data from a trusted source to a trusted
recipient without third party interference. Emerson
has a layered approach to security comprised of the
following five mitigation strategies:
Authentication - Authenticate sender and receiver
Verification - Verify that the data is valid
Encryption - Encrypt the data
Key Management - Periodic changes to encryption
keys managed automatically by the 1420 Wireless
Gateway
Anti-jamming - Avoid interference and blocked
communication spaces
This multi-dimensional approach gives users the
flexibility to control the level of security required for
their networks. These five layers of protection, when
properly deployed, are very effective at thwarting
attacks on the network.
The self-organizing network uses 128 bit encryption,
user definable key rotation and frequency hopping
spread spectrum. It also does not support
TCP/IP-based communication.
The gateway and information system uses Secure
HTTP and SSL-enabled connections for Ethernet
communications with the host system. All other ports
remain closed.Wireless technology offers cost and
performance benefits - as long as communication
security is maintained. Best practices have been
tested and validated with customers and wireless
experts, and are available to help you secure your
network.
