IEEE 802.15.4™ is a global standard for developers of smart city and Internet of Things (IoT) applications.
IEEE 802.15.4 was developed to enable low-data-rate applications that require years of battery life, low-complexity architectures to minimize cost and the ability to operate in unlicensed spectrum.
This compatibility creates additional opportunities for Indian IoT and smart city applications to leverage IEEE 802.15.4’s global ecosystem and marketplace momentum.
For example, IEEE 802.15.4u replicates IEEE 802.15.4g’s radio frequency (RF) characteristics into the new sub-GHz band defined for India.
That makes it fast and cost-effective for IEEE 802.15.4g module vendors to develop IEEE 802.15.4u versions of their products for the India market.
Low development costs also enable module vendors to price their solutions at a point that’s viable for a wide variety of IoT and smart city applications, including ones with tight budgets.
The IEEE 802.15.4u standard technically is an extension, which means it includes all of the benefits that have made IEEE 802.15.4-2015 a good fit for IoT and smart city applications in other parts of the world.
Like the original standard, IEEE 802.15.4u also features techniques to mitigate interference, which helps maximize reliability in environments where there’s a high density of devices using the same band.
Developers, service providers and end users need a heterogeneous, seamless, interoperable network when it comes to IoT and smart city applications, including Wi-Fi, cellular and powerline communications (PLC).
IEEE 802.15.4u has several advantages that move it to the top of the list for India and the global market.
Low infrastructure costs are critical for IoT and smart city applications, which are extremely cost-sensitive markets.
As a result, the IEEE 802.15.4u standard could enable IoT and smart city applications in India that will not be financially viable with other wireless or wired technologies
