Wi-SUN RF MESH

HXAP1000 Access Gateway is the rugged, modular platform for utilities and other industrial customers can use to build a highly secure, reliable, and scalable communications infrastructure. The product is certified to work in harsh environmental conditions. It also supports a variety of communication interfaces like ethernet, cellular, Wi-Fi, radio-frequency (RF) mesh.

Utilities all over the world are transitioning their grid from transmission to consumption. Regulatory mandates are driving initiatives around smart metering, grid reliability, and the integration of solar and wind farms in the distribution grid.

This challenges utilities to build a bi-directional communications field area network (FAN) that enables these diverse applications while scaling it across millions of end points. The FAN provides network connectivity to endpoints, such as smart meters, streetlights, and other environmental sensors. These endpoints form a mesh network based on the radio-frequency (RF) technology.
