Texas Instruments recently published a post on why the reliability, scalability, security, and affordability of the Wi-SUN field area network (FAN) is a compelling option for activating, monitoring, and controlling IoT devices. Read the full post.
Today’s utilities are challenged to implement IoT and smart city initiatives to benefit their communities, while continuing to provide reliable, high-quality service to their customers. At the same time, funding can be very restricted in the current regulatory and investment setting. This makes interoperability crucial, as it enables utilities to integrate existing technology to support new initiatives, without …

By: Dr. HH Li, President of Vertexcom Technologies In the era of the IoT, it is necessary to achieve one object, one address and everything on the Internet, so that each device connected to the Internet can be identified by its own IP address, maintain network interconnection and interoperability, and perform any form of two-way …
Although the global share of electric mobility is still small, the electric vehicle (EV) fleet is expanding quickly as governments put initiatives in place and automotive manufacturers continue to make progress in developing EVs with greater range and more power.
No one can dispute that we have entered the age of the Internet of Things (IoT). Some industries are a few years into the adoption process, including smart cities and utilities looking to utilize the IoT for applications from smart grid and advanced metering to connected street lighting, to help deliver costs savings and drive …
Growth of IoT solutions within the Utility industry is growing considerably each year. There are many pitfalls and mistakes that can be prevented by understanding how to configure your IoT network early on. Which networks, what kind of devices, how to improve outage management, protect deployments against security breaches, ensure long lifecycles of devices and …
Jeremy Laundergan, Vice President of Consulting Services, EnerNex We take it for granted. Being able to connect our devices, computers and gadgets to a Wi-Fi network is fairly straightforward and routine. We have a new device or we are traveling, so we identify a Wi-Fi network, which is either publicly available or has security credentials, …

It’s an exciting time for IoT and Smart Cities: more deployments, more interconnectivity, and more collaboration.
It has been stated time and time again that the use of open industry standards is key to the success of IoT networks. Equally important is the certification process, which we announced at the end of last year and earlier this year we saw the first Field Area Network (FAN) certified products become available. Wi-SUN …
