TOKYO, Jan. 23, 2014 – The Wi-SUN(R) Alliance, a global ecosystem of organizations creating
interoperable wireless solutions for use in energy management and smart-utility
network applications, today announced the first Wi-SUN Alliance certified
products. Wi-SUN members LAPIS Semiconductor Co., Ltd, NICT (Japan’s National
Institute of Information and Communications Technology) and Silver Spring
Networks (NYSE: SSNI) completed testing to achieve Wi-SUN PHY certification
according to the Alliance’s recently announced Global Certification Program.

The industry’s first certified products include:
– Lapis Semiconductor ML7396B evaluation system
– NICT Hyper Wi-SUN 3
– Silver Spring Networks Gen4 product portfolio
These three members completed the Wi-SUN Alliance Global Certification
Program, which consists of:
– PHY Conformance Testing based on specifications from IEEE802.15.4g. Test
plans were developed through a rigorous, phased process, and approved by Wi-SUN
Alliance membership.
– PHY Interoperability of Smart Utility Network systems based on products from
multiple silicon vendors. Products are verified for operation in international
regulatory bands including Asia, North America, and South America.
– Testing and Supervision by TUV Rheinland Group, a leading provider of
technical services with a global network of qualified test facilities with
locations in 65 countries.
“Today’s announcement is significant not only for the companies involved,
but also for the Alliance,” said Phil Beecher, Chairman of the Wi-SUN Alliance.
“Having three different companies complete stringent testing of multiple
products, based on silicon from both LAPIS Semiconductor and Analog Devices,
Inc., and performed in multiple geographical locations, should afford the
industry great confidence in the global, inclusive, and rigorous nature of the
specifications and processes included in our Global Certification Program.”
Numerous Wi-SUN members were actively engaged in creating the formal Wi-SUN
PHY test plan, a key element of the complete certification process.
Additionally, Wi-SUN Alliance members continue interoperability testing of the
Wi-SUN Echonet and Field Area Network (FAN) profiles, both of which are
underpinned by the Wi-SUN PHY specification and its related Certification
Program.
