Wi-SUN Engineering

Why Wi-SUN Uses IEEE 802.15.4g and IPv6

Why SUN PHY and IPv6 are foundational to scalable, long-life utility networks.

What 802.15.4g means

  • It defines PHY options optimized for smart utility networks and sub-GHz propagation.

What IPv6 brings

  • Address scale, routeability, and cleaner integration into enterprise-grade operational stacks.

Utility impact

  • Enables architecture that can scale while preserving operational visibility.
