Cisco's Ultra-Reliable Wireless Backhaul (URWB) technology provides industrial-grade wireless connectivity for AI-powered automation and robotics in manufacturing environments. Companies like E80 Group (autonomous warehouse vehicles) and Planet Farms (vertical farming) chose URWB over 5G due to lower complexity, unified infrastructure supporting both industrial machines and client devices, easier network governance, and better IT/OT convergence. URWB integrates with existing Cisco Wi-Fi access points, offering wired-like reliability with seamless roaming for moving assets while maintaining security through solutions like Cyber Vision and ISE.
