Wi-SUN Alliance unifies low-power and high-performance IoT for smart cities 

The Wi-SUN Alliance, a global industry organisation advancing open standards for secure, scalable wireless field area networks, has announced the launch of its FAN 1.1 Low Energy (LE) Certification. The new certification enables ultra-low-power, battery-operated and energy-harvesting devices to operate alongside high-performance applications within the same standards-based network, simplifying deployment, management and long-term scalability across connected infrastructure.

“With the introduction of Low Energy, Wi-SUN FAN 1.1 enables infrastructure operators to support a wider range of device types within a single network architecture,” said Phil Beecher, the president and CEO of the Wi-SUN Alliance. “Utilities, municipalities and solution providers can now operate long-life, low-power endpoints and higher-performance applications together, reducing complexity while maintaining the reliability, security and interoperability required for large-scale deployments.”
