The FAN 1.1 Low Energy Certification from the Wi-SUN Alliance is a standards-based certification program that enables ultra-low-power, battery-operated and energy-harvesting devices to operate within Wi-SUN FAN mesh networks alongside higher-performance endpoints. The certification supports devices designed for long operational life, including battery-powered nodes with 10–20 year lifetimes and solar-powered systems, while maintaining secure communications, predictable performance, and multi-vendor interoperability. FAN 1.1 Low Energy is intended for smart city infrastructure, utility and municipal monitoring, and large-scale IoT deployments that require a single network architecture for mixed power and data requirements.
