Abstract

HCWN networks provide flexibility for using mobile devices, and can be designed to increase reliability of communications in remote areas. However, the interdependencies and complexities of wireless systems in all industries are subject to cybersecurity vulnerabilities. These interdependencies are part of the designs that permit increased speeds and conveniences to help staff work faster and with more accuracy.
