The interoperability of the Wi-SUN stack simplifies the integration of new devices into existing networks and allows utilities to expand their networks as needed. CyanConnode's RF-based systems offer cost-effectiveness and sustainability, significantly reducing annual power costs for utilities and ensuring compliance with recent regulations of the WPC wing of the Ministry of Communications.
