    The Industrial Wi-Fi Shop Podcast – Ep. 25 Industrial Wireless Clients
    Mar 30 2026
    In this episode, Scott and Jeremy break down the operational modes of several leading industrial wireless client radios, including the Phoenix Contact 1021, ProSoft RLX2, and Siemens SCALANCE, explaining when and why you'd choose each one. The conversation digs into the real-world importance of Layer 2 transparency for protocols like PROFINET and PROFIsafe, and how technologies like VxLAN are making standards-based deterministic wireless more accessible. The hosts also tackle the often-overlooked challenge of passive clients on industrial networks and how NAT and IP masquerading can keep them reachable without breaking your architecture. Whether you're retrofitting legacy serial devices or building out a full IIoT data pipeline, this episode has the technical depth to help you make smarter wireless decisions on the plant floor.
