A technique for providing a redundant network connection for an industry automation apparatus is provided. In one aspect of the present disclosure, a network controller is provided that is configured to control a redundant connection of the industry automation apparatus via a communication network to another apparatus. The industry automation apparatus has a first radio interface and a second radio interface. The communication network comprises two or more functionally equivalent network entities grouped in a first entity set and a second network entity set disjoint to the first network entity set, wherein the first network entity set and the first radio interface are associated with a first redundancy group and wherein the second network entity set and the second radio interface are associated with a second redundancy group.
