With more than 91 million Wi-SUN capable devices delivered globally, now is a great time to get a seat at the table and join the other 200+ member companies at the Wi-SUN Alliance and help to shape this important Industrial IoT (IIoT) specification.
Our members, which have been growing steadily over recent months and now herald from all corners of the globe and across many industry and government sectors, are working to drive new IoT applications products and services with a shared perspective on interoperability.
We saw this clearly at the DistribuTECH event in February where more than a dozen Wi-SUN Alliance members had booths, and where we showcased the very first Field Area Networks (FAN) certified products on the Wi-SUN stand. It demonstrated a real sense of strength in numbers and shows just how far we have come in recent years.
Among a growing list of applications that enhance efficiency, quality of service and resiliency, a Wi-SUN-based network ensures flexibility and enables the very highest levels of IoT security. Certified products will seamlessly interact while leveraging shared network infrastructure, facilitating an ecosystem of non-proprietary solutions. Additionally, Wi-SUN’s intelligent self-healing mesh network automatically responds to changing environments.
