Interoperability for Customers with IEEE 802.15.4g
Implementations
Silver Spring Networks, Inc. (NYSE:SSNI), a leading
networking platform and solutions provider for smart energy
networks, today announced the successful completion of Wi-SUN
Alliance certification for the IEEE 802.15.4g PHY supported across
its Gen4 product portfolio. As one of the first in a group of
vendors to complete certification, Silver Spring has helped
establish open, standards-based smart utility networks for
customers to leverage.
Open communications protocols and standards are crucial to
helping ensure interoperability as utilities and network operators
deploy increasingly complex networks with millions of endpoint
devices. IEEE 802.15.4g is a global standard that harmonizes the
physical layer of a wide variety of deployed wireless
infrastructure systems, and specifies standard power levels, data
rates, modulations, and frequency bands for the large scale,
outdoor and topographically challenging environments of smart
energy networks. The Wi-SUN Alliance certification regimen helps
ensure the conformance of, and interoperability between, IEEE
802.15.4g implementations.
“Open standards are critical to helping ensure interoperability,
speeding deployment times, reducing cost and risk, and accelerating
innovation as our customers build out the next generation of
massive-scale machine-to-machine (M2M) networks,” said Anil Gadre,
Executive Vice President of Products, Silver Spring Networks. “We
are excited that our Gen4 portfolio is now formally Wi-SUN Alliance
certified and we look forward to further collaboration with the
Alliance and its membership to continue growing its ecosystem
around the world.”
As a founding member of the Wi-SUN Alliance, Silver Spring is
dedicated to furthering its mission of certifying wireless
communications interoperability amongst the broadest possible array
of smart grid devices, increasing choice and delivering more value
for customers. Silver Spring’s early commitment to and delivery of
an IPv6 standards-based networking platform has transformed the
utility industry’s approach to modernizing the grid. For more
