SAN RAMON, Calif., Nov. 30, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

-- Collaboration provides utilities with a proven, global and secure end-to-end

standard for smart devices on Wi-SUN-based networks

The Wi-SUN Alliance and the DLMS User Association (DLMS UA) today announced the

Wi-SUN Field Area Network (FAN) communications profile has been published in

the latest edition of the DLMS UA specifications (Blue and Green books), which

are currently available for download for DLMS UA members.  This announcement is

the latest in the organizations' three-year collaboration aimed at ensuring

seamless interoperability of solutions running DLMS/COSEM applications over a

Wi-SUN FAN communications network.

The Wi-SUN Alliance drives the global proliferation of interoperable wireless

solutions for use in smart cities, smart grids and other Internet of Things

(IoT) applications using open global standards from organizations, while the

DLMS UA (Device Language Message Specification User Association) promotes and

develops the use of the DLMS/COSEM (Companion Specification for Energy

Metering) standard – guaranteeing interoperability and security for smart

devices. Enabling assured interoperable solutions utilizing both the DLMS/COSEM

and Wi-SUN technologies lets global utilities expand their capabilities.

"Both Wi-SUN FAN and DLMS/COSEM are proven technologies, with many millions of

smart meter deployments across the world," said Phil Beecher, President and

CEO, Wi-SUN Alliance. "The availability of this standard now provides the

opportunity for true multi-vendor, "end to end" interoperability for utilities

worldwide, by specifying Wi-SUN FAN for the underlying communications

infrastructure and DLMS/COSEM for the application layer."

"Our partnership with the Wi-SUN Alliance helps us to extends the reach of

DLMS/COSEM into global markets and opens the door to a variety of new use cases

and IoT applications beyond electricity and gas metering," said Sergio

Lazarrotto, Executive Director and President of the DLMS User Association.  "We

look forward to further building out the applications of DLMS to help support

the business models of those deploying smart utility and smart city solutions."
