Silicon Labs launches Wi-SUN technology platform

26 May 2021 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

Silicon Labs recently announced its new standards-driven Wi-SUN technology, opening the door to new Internet of Things (IoT) market opportunities and accelerating smart city application development.

The company’s certified Wi-SUN solution combines the advanced EFR32 hardware platform, full-featured IPv6 mesh stack and advanced development tools to enable secure wireless connectivity for a broad 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.

Wi-SUN is certified by the Wi-SUN Alliance, a global industry association devoted to seamless LPWAN connectivity. Wi-SUN builds upon standard Internet protocols (IP) and APIs, enabling developers to extend existing infrastructure platforms to add new or emerging applications serving a wide range of industrial and smart city workflows. Built to scale due to its long-range capabilities, high data throughput and IPv6 support, Wi-SUN simplifies wireless infrastructure for cities and expanding suburban areas.

Silicon Labs’ first family of wireless SoCs to support Wi-SUN is EFR32xG12, a 32-bit Arm Cortex-M4 platform with up to 1 MB of Flash and 256 KB of RAM as well as an integrated +20 dBm power amplifier (PA) for sub-GHz frequencies. Silicon Labs currently has certified Wi-SUN FSK PHYs and is working with lead customers to bring fully certified Wi-SUN applications to market.
