The document discusses the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Industrial Technologies Program (ITP) and its efforts to promote wireless technologies for industrial energy efficiency. [1] It describes how ITP funded projects in 2002-2003 that led to the formation of the Wireless Industrial Networking Alliance (WINA) in 2004. [2] WINA helped establish the ISA100 wireless standard in 2005 which has since been adopted by many industrial companies. [3] The document argues that ITP's support has helped create over 100 new industrial wireless companies and generate over $400 million in investment and 2,000 new jobs since 2005.
