Certified and fully integrated
Wi-SUN
solution simplifies LPWAN deployment for smart cities
–
Silicon Labs
(also known as "Silicon Labs") announced the launch of new standards-based
Wi-SUN®
technology, opening up new Internet of Things (
IoT
) market opportunities and accelerating the development of smart city applications. The certified
Silicon Labs Wi-SUN
solution combines the industry-leading
EFR32
hardware platform, a full-featured
IPv6
mesh networking protocol stack and advanced development tools to enable secure wireless connectivity for a wide range of applications - from advanced metering infrastructure (
AMI
) to street lighting networks, asset management and smart city sensors such as parking, air quality and waste management.
“As a leader in wireless connectivity for the IoT,
Wi-SUN
is a perfect addition to our portfolio,”
said
Matt Johnson
, senior vice president and general manager of IoT products
at Silicon Labs
. “
Wi-SUN
is
a comprehensive solution optimized
for large-scale, long-range, low-power wide-area networks (
LPWANs
). Our
Wi-SUN
technology provides a non-proprietary approach for industrial and smart city applications, making deployments more scalable, flexible and secure.”
Wi-SUN
technology is
certified by the
Wi-SUN
Alliance, a
global industry association
dedicated to enabling seamless
LPWAN
connectivity.
Built on standard Internet Protocol (
IP
) and application programming interfaces (
APIs
),
Wi-SUN
enables developers to extend existing infrastructure platforms to add new or mature applications that serve a variety of industrial and smart city workflows. With long-range capabilities, high data throughput, and
support
for
IPv6
,
Wi-SUN
can be expanded to simplify wireless infrastructure for cities and expanding suburbs.
“The Wi-SUN
Alliance’s mission is to enable ubiquitous, intelligent networks for service providers, utilities, municipalities, and other smart city companies,”
said
Phil Beecher
,
president and CEO of the
Wi-SUN
Alliance. “We are excited to see
Silicon Labs
and other Alliance member companies introduce innovative solutions based on
the
Wi-SUN FAN
specification, which fully defines how to build secure, reliable, and resilient networks for large-scale smart city outdoor applications.”
Silicon Labs'
first
Wi-SUN
-enabled wireless system-on-chip (
SoC
) product family is
the EFR32xG12
, a
32-
bit
Arm Cortex-M4
platform with up to
1 MB
of flash and
256 kB
of
RAM
, and an integrated
20dBm
power amplifier (
PA
)
operating in
the sub
-1GHz
band.
Silicon Labs
is currently certified for
Wi-SUN FSK PHY
and is working with leading customers to bring fully certified
Wi-SUN
applications to the market.
Silicon Labs'
complete
Wi-SUN
solution is expected to be
generally available in early summer 2021
.
Silicon Labs
will
demonstrate
the benefits of
Wi-SUN
for smart city applications
with
Landis+Gyr
and
Pelion
at
the Smart Cities Connect online conference
on
April
14
,
2021.
