BIS adopts open standard for better security, reliability in smart city projects
The national standards body Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has actually taken on Wi-SUN Alliance FAN (Field Area Networks) spec (within IEEE 2857-2021) for Smart Meter RF Communication Networks, particularly useful for wise city jobs. This concerns requirements for large scale outside networks for web of points (IoT) applications, including clever metering jobs, wise grids, street lighting, etc. This adoption is anticipated to enable interoperable, multi-service and safe and secure wireless communications networks for government, energies, company, and enterprises.
Wi-SUN is known open criterion for smart metering networks, which has been released for numerous units across the globe. It makes certain security and dependability. Until now various Indian companies have actually been using proprietary solutions which pose security threat due to lack of transparency and vendor dependency. Open up requirement like Wi-SUN FAN is expected to offer openness, interoperability and adaptability, getting rid of the danger of single point failures.
“The adoption of Wi-SUN Alliance cordless interactions specification, integrated in IEEE 2857, as a standard for India by the BIS is a clear signal that the National Standards Body acknowledges the duty that wireless mesh technology will play in driving the development of smart cities in India and the quick rollout of clever meter projects over the following couple of years,” included Phil Beecher, President and CEO of Wi-SUN Alliance.
To make sure, Wi-SUN FAN makes use of public-key infrastructure with each tool containing special identity certification that allows mutual authentication of devices and network. This guarantees energies can carry out invasion detection, traffic shaping, network analysis, and infiltration screening, permitting far better mitigation of DOS strikes, while supplying better network visibility. Wi-SUN’s wireless mesh technology is presently deployed for the Smart City Lab project in Hyderabad, as part of the collaboration in between International Institute of Information Technology (IIIT-H), the federal government of Telangana, and Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology India. It serves as test bed for smart city technologies
