For distribution utilities to navigate the demands of a changing energy landscape – integrating distributed energy resources, managing residential load growth, and serving energy-hungry data centers – grid communications must be flexible, interoperable, and future-ready—offering utilities freedom and resilience. 

Open standards are central to communications flexibility. They reduce vendor lock-in, promote supply chain diversity, and foster a rich ecosystem of interoperable devices and applications. Wi-SUN exemplifies this approach: a standards-based, secure, and scalable IPv6 Mesh networking technology that seamlessly complements other communication platforms like cellular. 

Landis+Gyr has long championed open standards. As an active member and Board-level contributor to the Wi-SUN Alliance since 2018, we have been instrumental in shaping interoperability. With 15 Wi-SUN FAN–certified products, Landis+Gyr leads the industry in delivering open, secure, and future-ready AMI solutions.
