ROHM to Supply Wi-SUN FAN Module Solutions for Smart Cities
Published2021.01.27 16:20Automatic connection switching is possible with multi-hop communication.
Specifications suitable for implementing smart cities and grids
ROHM announced on the 26th that it is providing a module solution compatible with 'Wi-SUN FAN', which is suitable for building large-scale mesh networks required for realizing smart cities and grids.
Wi-SUN FAN (Field Area Network) is the latest standard of the international wireless communication standard 'Wi-SUN'. Unlike other LPWA (Low Power Wide Area), it does not incur communication costs and has the reliability to automatically monitor radio conditions and switch connection locations through multi-hop (relay) communication.
ROHM's Wi-SUN FAN-compatible module solution includes the ultra-compact (15.0×19.0mm) Wi-SUN FAN-compatible wireless communication module, the "BP35C5." Up to 1,000 units can be connected, enabling the solution to be applied to social infrastructure such as traffic lights, enabling the construction of a remote management system covering an entire city.
Additionally, the Wi-SUN FAN has built-in security features required to enable simple and secure communication without complex control. Having received Radio Law certification from the Association of Radio Industries and Businesses (ARIB) of Japan and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States, the device is ready for immediate use in Japan and the United States. Additional regional support is planned in the future.
The BP35C5 module and the "BP35C5-T01" evaluation board that make up the solution can be requested through ROHM's official website, and online sales are scheduled to begin through Digi-Key and Mouser in mid-February 2021. User guides and other materials required for evaluation can also be downloaded from the official website.

How Wi-SUN, which ensures IoT device interconnectivity, is changing cities
Energy conservation, automatic metering control and monitoring requirements are top priorities for progressive cities and communities worldwide. Accordingly, internet-based control and monitoring strategies are being promoted. Wi-SUN is a physical layer technology standardized as IEEE 802.15.4g, and in order to create new IoT industries and activate services, the output in the 900MHz band has been increased from the existing 10mW to a maximum of 200mW, and its application is expected across various fields. Currently, Wi-SUN is widely used in smart metering and wiring automation in the United States and Japan, and many countries and companies are viewing it as an alternative for smart grids, infrastructure management, traffic management systems, and smart lighting, and have begun full-scale implementation reviews.
