Wi-SUN Technology and Certification January 2018
What is Wi-SUN? Open-standards based secure, interoperable communications for large scale IoT for Smart Utility and Smart City networks. 2
Wi-SUN Alliance was established in April 2012 Incorporated as Not for Profit Organization (501c) in Delaware, US Regional representation in Europe, India, Japan, North America, Singapore Over 170 member companies including product vendors, silicon vendors, software companies, utilities, government institutions and universities Specification of wireless communications networks based on IEEE 802.15.4g RF (and derivatives) and ipv6 / 6lowpan for Both Field Area Networks (FAN) and Home Area Networks (HAN) Defines testing and certification program for multi-vendor interoperable solutions RF + MAC + Network + Security Wi-SUN Alliance Wi-SUN Alliance Wi-SUN Certified 3
Why the Alliance was Formed The Wi-SUN Alliance goes beyond the IEEE and IETF standards to deliver: A specification for the full communications functionality for each Smart Application: Options make interoperability more difficult to achieve 802.15.4g only specifies the PHY layer A testing and certification process: IEEE 802 and IETF write standards, and do not describe testing A forum to: Select and document required options and features Define testing and certification TO ENABLE MULTI-VENDOR INTEROPERABILITY FOR COMPLEX ECOSYSTEMS 4

What We Deliver Communications Profile Definitions based on Open Standards for Field Area, IoT wireless networks Interoperability Testing + Certification Authority for Peer to Peer Wireless Mesh networks based on IEEE 802.15.4g and IPv6 / IETF, Current focus is on enabling multi-vendor Field Area Networks (FANs), Home Energy Management Systems (HEMS) and communications for smart city and smart utility networks Marketing support and training programs to promote understanding and adoption What Wi-SUN Alliance does not do It is not a Standards Organization (serves a different role from IEEE, IETF) It does not specify Application profiles 6
Target IoT Applications Open Standards based, Interoperable Communications Infrastructure for: Utility Industry: Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) Distribution Automation Home Energy Management Smart Cities: Smart Street Lighting Infrastructure Management Intelligent Transportation Systems Parking management Home Automation: Smart Thermostats Air Conditioning and Heat Controls Energy Usage Information Displays M2M: Structural health: bridges, buildings etc Agriculture Monitoring and Asset Management 7
