Landis+Gyr (SIX: LAND) today announced the successful certification of its Revelo grid sensing platform, along with the Network Router, to the Wi-SUN FAN 1.1 specification for field area networks. Revelo was the first grid sensing platform to achieve Wi-SUN FAN 1.0 certification and now is the first to achieve FAN 1.1 certification, unlocking the next level of interoperability for utility network applications.

The FAN 1.1 specification introduces support for higher and dynamic data rates and expands geographic coverage capabilities, while keeping backward compatibility with FAN 1.0 certified devices.  More details about FAN 1.1 can be found on the Wi-SUN website. 

"I'm proud to be part of this milestone. Wi-SUN FAN 1.1 introduces features on top of FAN 1.0 which will unlock a more flexible, resilient, interoperable, and future-proofed network. Being among the first to offer Wi-SUN FAN 1.1 certified products reflects Landis+Gyr’s commitment to our customers,” said Marcos Aguirre, Portfolio Manager at Landis+Gyr and a member of the Executive Committee at the Wi-SUN Alliance.  “By continuing to offer flexibility and choice for our utility partners, our leading grid edge technology adapts to the evolving needs of the market, ensuring utilities are equipped to address current and future challenges." 

Wi-SUN’s FAN Certification Program provides compliance testing of network components and devices to a communications profile developed from applicable open standards and certifies the product’s ability to interoperate. All Wi-SUN certified products are rigorously tested by a third-party test lab to ensure the devices work together effortlessly and securely. Certified devices include a digital certificate to authenticate entry to a Wi-SUN FAN network, which significantly reduces vulnerability to cyber security threats.
