Wi-SUN Alliance Expands Support for Smart Cities Worldwide
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Available Wi-SUN Profiles Accelerate Global Smart Grid, Smart Cities and IoT
MORGAN HILL, Calif., Nov. 03, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Wi-SUN Alliance, a
global ecosystem of companies seeking to accelerate the implementation of Field
Area Networking and the Internet of Things, today announced support for the
global frequency band (2.4GHz). The addition of this frequency band will allow
improved data rates, performance, robustness and security compared with many
alternative solutions. As the industry need for Smart City and IoT deployments
across the world grows, Wi-SUN support for this band now makes available to the
global market proven Wi-SUN profiles for Field Area Networking (FAN) and home
area networking (HAN).
"Wi-SUN is responding to the market demand for Smart Grid and Smart City
deployments that may wish to enhance already available sub-GHz spectrum," said
Phil Beecher, chairman, Wi-SUN Alliance. "The Wi-SUN FAN profile, using the
currently available frequency band, provides a foundation for enhanced Utility,
Smart City and other IoT implementations in the region, as already proven by
millions of devices deployed globally."
Wi-SUN is focused on the certification of open standards based wireless
solutions for use in energy management, commercial and Smart City applications.
The adoption of Wi-SUN FAN enables wireless connectivity in advanced metering
infrastructure (AMI), distribution automation (DA), and smart cities (e.g.
networked street lighting and other urban infrastructure) across all regions
that are addressed by the IEEE 802.15.4g global standard. The Wi-SUN
specification helps enterprises, service providers and municipalities by
enabling interoperable, multi-service and secure IPv6/6LoWPAN communications
over an IEEE 802.15.4g based wireless mesh network. Mesh-enabled Field Area
Networks (FAN) provide resilient, secure and cost effective connectivity with
extremely good coverage in a range of topographical environments, from dense
urban neighborhoods to rural areas, with minimal additional infrastructure.
The Wi-SUN Alliance will be exhibiting and available for press meetings at
European Utility Week, 3-5 November 2015, Vienna, Austria, please visit us at
stand m59.
