CIMCON Granted Wi-SUN Certification

BURLINGTON, Mass., Nov. 19, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- CIMCON, a leading global provider of smart city technologies, has been granted Wi-Sun Certification for its smart lighting controllers. Wi-SUN certification validates CIMCON's interoperability with standard based field area networks and head-end equipment used to deliver a secure Internet of Things (IoT) for smart city applications. With this certification, CIMCON's smart lighting controls have been certified to work with other Wi-SUN v1.0 standard solutions including Cisco's Resilient Mesh.

Wi-SUN Certified™ products have undergone rigorous testing by Wi-SUN's independent Authorized Test Laboratories. The Wi-SUN certification means that a product has been tested for conformance to the relevant protocol standards and for interoperability with a range of other Wi-SUN certified equipment operating in the same frequency band.

"Simplifying the deployment of smart city solutions is one of our primary goals and adhering to industry-accepted standards is a critical element of our product strategy," said Anil Agrawal, CEO at CIMCON.

"Cisco is excited to see the Wi-SUN ecosystem grow," says Vikas Butaney, Cisco Vice President of IoT product management. "The multi-service capability of the field area network keeps growing, bringing extra value beyond advanced metering to utility and smart city organizations."

In addition to receiving the Wi-SUN certification, CIMCON has also joined the Wi-SUN Alliance. The Wi-SUN Alliance is focused on accelerating the implementation of smarter cities and utilities by enabling the global adoption of interoperable solutions based on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard and other related open standards. Joining the alliance is a natural fit for CIMCON, whose smart lighting and controls technology are compatible with Wi-SUN and other network protocols in a growing number of smart cities and utilities around the world.
