Wi-SUN Development Kits

The EFR32FG25 Wi-SUN Pro Kits are designed to support the development of Wireless IoT devices based on the Sub-GHz WiSUN FAN. The Pro Kits include a radio board that provides a complete reference design for the EFR32FG25 Wireless SoC, with the matching network for +16 dBm covering 863-876 or 902-928 MHz. Each Wi-SUN Pro Kit includes 3 complete mainboard and radio board setups allowing for configuration of a multi-node test network.

The Wireless Pro Kit Mainboard contains an on-board J-Link debugger with a Packet Trace Interface and a virtual COM port, enabling application development and debugging of the attached radio board as well as external hardware. The mainboard also contains sensors and peripherals for easy demonstration of some of the EFR32's many capabilities..

What is Wi-SUN?

Wi-SUN is an open standard based on IPv6 and IEEE 802.15.4g/e specifications. The Wi-SUN Alliance is responsible for the development of the standard and is a global ecosystem of member companies seeking to accelerate the implementation of Field Area Networks (FAN) and Internet of Things (IoT).

Top Benefits of Wi-SUN FAN (Field Area Network)

Wi-SUN® FAN specifications bring Smart Ubiquitous Networks to service providers, utilities, municipalities/local government and other enterprises, by enabling interoperable, multi-service and secure wireless mesh networks.
