Abstract

Techniques are described to provide industrial machine configurations using private wireless networking. In one example, a method includes provisioning a segmentation policy for a network area, wherein the segmentation policy identifies policy groups for the network area in which each policy group comprises a plurality of devices capable of inter-device communications; provisioning, at a proximity services controller, a connectivity policy for each policy group, wherein the connectivity policy for each of policy group identifies at least one proxy configuration for one or more types of information to be communicated among the plurality of devices of each policy group; establishing connectivity between each device of each of the policy groups and an access point; and communicating the one or more types of information to each of the policy groups based on the at least one proxy configuration for each policy group.
