TimesTech: What are Silicon Labs’ plans and partnerships in India to implement smart metering?
Mr. Dhiraj: Smart metering has showcased rapid growth worldwide, and India has one of the most robust programmes to accelerate smart metering adoption. In June, Silicon Labs announced its FG28 System-on-Chip (SoC) designed for long-range networks and protocols like Wi-SUN, Wirepas, and other proprietary protocols. It will certainly help address the growing need for intelligent, connected devices in cities and different municipal environments. CyanConnode, a global leader in the design and development of Narrowband RF mesh networks, has chosen to incorporate our technology into its products, enabling high-quality solutions for India’s smart metering needs. The technology boasts a remarkable ability to function with minimal data loss over distances of up to 1.6 kilometers, both in urban and rural environments.
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.
