The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has adopted the Wi-SUN Alliance FAN (Field Area Networks) specification as the national standard for India’s smart meter radio frequency (RF) communication networks.
“This recognition is also a huge growth opportunity for member companies based in India, including Cisco, Renesas, Silicon Labs, Texas Instruments, Exegin, and CyanConnode, as well as those looking to expand into the Indian market,” said Phil Beecher, President and CEO of Wi-SUN Alliance.
Wi-SUN Alliance in a media statement noted that the FAN specification is used to support the specification and rollout of large-scale outdoor networks, including smart metering projects, smart grids, street lighting, and other Internet of Things (IoT) applications.
CyanConnode Holdings plc (LON:CYAN) is a world leader in the design and development of Narrowband RF mesh networks that enable Omni Internet of Things (IoT) communications.
