			Industry recognizes wireless sensor networks as one of the next major technical and economical shifts in automation and control 
			systems. Industrial applications need performance assurances of wireless communication, which is hard to attain given the 
			variability of the environment where such applications are deployed. In this paper, we quantify the impact of environmental 
			conditions, namely temperature, fog, and rain on wireless communication links. We further investigate the influence of industrial 
			casing on communication, evaluating an ATEX enclosure intended for use in potential ly explosive atmospheres. Knowledge 
			of the potential impact of environmental conditions and special casings provides an important input to robust communication design 
			during deployment planning.
