UCIFI ALLIANCE INC

THE SMART STREETLIGHT AND THE SMART METERING MARKETS BOTH STARTED WITH THE FIRST PROJECTS ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO. EVEN IF DOZENS OF PROJECTS WERE DEPLOYED SINCE THEN, THESE MARKETS ARE STILL GROWING, NOT YET MATURE AND ONLY ADDRESSED BY PROPRIETARY SINGLE-SOURCE-SUPPLIER NETWORKING SYSTEMS. CITIES AND UTILITIES ASK FOR OPEN AND MULTI-SUPPLIER WIRELESS NETWORKING SOLUTIONS. THE MISSION OF THE UCIFI ALLIANCE IS TO DEVELOP A MULTI- TRANSPORT, MULTI-SUPPLIER & COST EFFICIENT WIRELESS NETWORK REFERENCE IMPLEMENTATION THAT INCLUDES AN OPEN-SOURCE LONG-RANGE MESH NETWORK, AS WELL AS SUPPORTS LORAWAN, NB-IOT AND BLUETOOTH, SO THAT IOT DEVICES COMMUNICATES THROUGH VARIOUS NETWORKS USING THE SAME UNIFIED UCIFI DATA MODEL.
