Pain Points and Challenges
- Closed Ecosystem: Traditional solutions suffer from poor device interoperability, locking users into a single vendor, leading to high system expansion and upgrade costs.
- Coverage and Reliability Challenges: In dense urban areas or complex terrain, traditional star networks are prone to obstruction, and single points of failure significantly impact reliability, making it difficult to ensure 100% online availability for massive numbers of endpoints.
- Future capability deficiency: Insufficient existing network bandwidth and lack of support for modern IP protocols make it difficult to carry advanced services such as distribution automation and distributed energy management, constraining the intelligent evolution of the power grid.
Technical Principles
The core is built on Wi-SUN FAN technology, adhering to open global standards such as IEEE 802.15.4g, employing Mesh network technology, leveraging its self-organizing and self-healing capabilities to achieve stable large-scale network coverage in complex environments through multi-path and data hopping; integrated with enterprise-grade security measures, following IPv6 protocol to ensure data transmission security; equipped with innovative network scheduling methods to improve the reporting rate of power outage information; possessing full-stack R&D and integration capabilities from “end to cloud,” enabling deep optimization at all system layers and supporting seamless interoperability and collaboration of multi-vendor devices.
Innovation/Features
- Ecosystem Openness and Standard Leadership:
As the first Chinese company to join the Wi-SUN Alliance board, we not only follow standards but also participate in their formulation, ensuring seamless integration with the global ecosystem and completely resolving vendor lock-in issues. - Network Resilience and Large-Scale Networking:
The Mesh network based on Wi-SUN FAN supports multi-path transmission and self-healing with no single point of failure, ensuring network robustness in extreme environments. Our patented efficient power-off reporting technology further enhances second-level awareness of critical grid events (such as power outages). - Full-Stack Autonomy and Future-Oriented:
Possessing full-stack independent R&D capabilities from “module-protocol stack-network management-clouds”, ensuring deep system optimization and autonomous control. Native IPv6 support and high bandwidth provide a solid foundation for future services such as Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) and distribution automation.
