Wi-SUN Launches FAN Certification Program For Large Outdoor IoT Networks
The Wi-SUN Alliance, a global ecosystem of member companies seeking to accelerate the implementation of open standards-based Field Area Networks (FAN) and the Internet of Things (IoT), recently announced its FAN Certification Program. FAN is a communications infrastructure for very large-scale networks that works by letting devices interconnect onto one common network.
The availability of the FAN Certification Program is the result of the collaboration of a number of Wi-SUN Member companies. Through the certification program, the Wi-SUN Alliance certifies products based on their compliance to a communications profile derived from applicable open standards and their ability to interoperate with other Wi-SUN certified products.
