FAN Certification to Accelerate IoT End Device Interoperability

FAN (Field Area Networks) provide a communications infrastructure for very large-scale outdoor networks. In the same way you use the Internet on a smartphone or a computer, a Field Area Network lets industrial devices such as smart meters and streetlights interconnect onto one common network.

The FAN Certification Program has been developed by the Wi-SUN Alliance to certify devices for use by utilities, city developers and other service providers to simplify large-scale smart cities, smart utilities and other IoT rollouts.

Through FAN Certification, the Wi-SUN Alliance certifies products based on their compliance to a communications profile derived from open standards and their ability to interoperate with other Wi-SUN certified products.

Wi-SUN FAN Security

All Wi-SUN FAN certified products are rigorously tested by a certified Wi-SUN appointed third-party test lab to ensure the devices work together effortlessly and securely for rapid time to market.

Certified devices include a digital certificate to authenticate entry to a Wi-SUN FAN network, significantly reducing vulnerability to cyber security threats. Wi-SUN has selected GlobalSign to provide Certificate Authority (CA) services to Wi-SUN Alliance member companies.
