Smart Cities

How Wi‑SUN is Making
Cities Smarter

Smart utility networks and smart cities have many common communications requirements and can be supported by  the same networking architecture.

Smart cities can leverage the existing wireless communications infrastructure provided by Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) or street lighting networks to enable other applications, such as smart traffic signals, public transit signs, parking spaces, electric vehicle charging stations and more.

What are the benefits?

Interoperable

Robust, secure, open and interoperable solutions based on the IEEE 802.15.4g wireless standard will play a critical role in the development of smart city and smart utility related applications for today and for years to come.

Key to Growth

Open standards and interoperability are the key to smart city growth.

Wireless Mesh

Mesh Networks are designed to be flexible and enable highly reliable connectivity, even in the most challenging environments.

IoT Analytics estimates that the connected streetlights market will surpass US$3.6 billion in 2023, and will grow with a CAGR of 21%.
