How Should Factory Network Infrastructure Be Designed? Fiber, Switching, Wi-Fi and Redundancy
Fiber backbones are fundamental for long distances and building links; single-mode/multimode choice follows distance and capacity. Redundant cores, dual uplinks, LACP and correct STP/RSTP reduce the impact of device or link failure.

Topic 3
Separate office, server, voice, camera, guest Wi-Fi, OT, IoT and management traffic into appropriate VLANs/zones.
Topic 4
Factory Wi-Fi requires RF surveys that account for metal, racking, forklifts, high ceilings, machinery, roaming and client density.
