The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has adopted Wi-SUN Alliance FAN (Field Area Network) specification as the national standard for India’s smart meter RF communication networks.
With this adoption, the Bureau is foreseeing the enablement of interoperable, multi-service and secure wireless communications networks for government, utilities, service providers and enterprises in India.
Under the Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme, which was introduced in July 2021, a nationwide rollout of more than 250 million smart meters is currently underway, while also large-scale smart city development is underway with the government having allocated support towards the development of 100 smart cities in the country.
Wi-SUN Alliance member companies based in India include Cisco, Renesas, Silicon Labs, Texas Instruments, Exegin and CyanConnode.
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.
