Although wireless technologies suffer from link problems due to error-prone channels, they are increasingly employed in industrial environments and provide noticeable advantages in terms of mobility, reduction of costs, etc. Current wireless technologies and their assessment for e-maintenance applications are reviewed in this chapter. However, no technology is efficient enough to fulfil the entire functional and technological requirements of such applications. The concepts of wireless gateway and collector are needed to ensure interoperability of several wireless technologies, and these are presented herein. Finally, hardware and software prototypes are presented.
