Hispanics in the U.S. are not only online in overwhelming numbers, but they are taking advantage of all that the Internet has to offer. Previous notions of Hispanics not having access to the internet, or being unaware of its possibilities, have been dispelled.

These wired Hispanics state that they are turning to the internet for both information and entertainment.

- Those under the age of 55 (85 percent) are more likely to read the news online than 55+ (72 percent).

- Virtually all Hispanics with a college degree (97 percent) read the news while online at least once per month.

Almost eighty percent (79 percent) of Hispanics are turning to the internet to research products and they are not just researching, they are buying. While online over half of U.S. Hispanics (53 percent) make a purchase at least once a month.

How WLAN Transforms Industrial Automation

The industrial sector is on the eve of a wireless transformation, driven by an urgent demand for greater network capacity, reliability, and deterministic performance. Historically, manufacturers and mission-critical operations have relied on wired networks — favoring their predictability — because spectrum congestion in legacy 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands limited confidence in wireless for operational technology (OT) environments. However, with the introduction and rapid adoption of the 6GHz spectrum, compounded by significant advances in Wi-Fi standards, industrial facilities are now poised to embrace wireless LANs as the backbone for automation and digital innovation. Industrial WLAN Market Development Recent research from ABI Research forecasts that over 70 percent of industrial-grade wireless LAN access points (WLAN APs) shipped in 2030 will support the 6GHz band. This is a leap from 2 percent in 2023, highlighting a rapid and profound technological shift. The market for ruggedized indust...
