The HART Communication Foundation has announced that the International Electrotechnical Commission has approved the WirelessHART specification as a full international standard (IEC 62591Ed. 1.0).

The unanimous vote by the IEC National Committees of 28 countries confirms the broad global support for WirelessHART technology as the international standard for wireless communication in process automation.

The technology has been confirmed by both users and suppliers to be a technically sound, reliable and secure solution for wireless communication in process automation.

WirelessHART is an open and interoperable wireless communication standard designed to address the critical needs of industry for reliable, robust and secure wireless communication in real-time industrial process measurement and control applications.

It is a backward-compatible, evolutionary enhancement to the HART Communication Protocol, the communication technology for intelligent process measurement and control field devices and systems.
