Today the meaning of wireless technologies constantly increases.That is not only of interest in the consumer area, but also for office solutions or the control and regulation of machines within the automation technology.In the different fields of applications the requirements varying against the radio technologies.In the past it turns out that there is not the one wireless technology that fulfills all requirements in every situation.For this reason different radio technologies in the automation technology were established.Here for example WLAN, Bluetooth and IEEE 802.15.4 are to mention.Therefore the individual wireless technologies offer strong differences.For example the parameterization of the specific communication solutions, or the topologies, in which the wireless networks are organized, are mentioned.It is obvious, that a uniform interface must be created to abstract the wireless technologies, that a commercial long run success is guaranteed.
