Advancing open, interoperable smart city networks to help municipalities reduce vendor lock-in and scale future-ready infrastructure. QUEBEC, QUEBEC, CANADA, April 1, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Dimonoff, a globally recognised leader in smart street lighting control, is proud to announce that its parent company, Vectanor Group Inc., has joined the Wi-SUN Alliance as a Contributing Member. This milestone reinforces Dimonoff’s long-standing commitment to delivering interoperable, standards-based IoT solutions for utilities and municipalities worldwide. “Joining the Wi-SUN Alliance reinforces our commitment to open, interoperable infrastructure for cities,” said Daniel Noiseux, General Manager of Vectanor Group. “Municipalities need flexibility to evolve their systems over time, and open standards are key to making that possible.” What is the Wi-SUN Alliance? The Wi-SUN (Wireless Smart Ubiquitous Network) Alliance is a global industry association of more than 300 member organisations across 46 countries. It promotes and certifies interoperable wireless solutions based on open standards, particularly for smart utilities, smart cities, and industrial IoT applications. With over 100 million Wi-SUN-enabled devices deployed worldwide—including large-scale smart lighting networks in cities such as Miami, Paris, and London—the standard has become a leading choice for outdoor IoT mesh networking. Wi-SUN technology enables resilient, self-forming, and self-healing communication networks capable of scaling to millions of devices across wide geographic areas. Why This Matters for Utilities and Municipalities For public utilities and municipalities evaluating smart infrastructure investments, vendor lock-in remains one of the greatest risks. Wi-SUN directly addresses this concern by certifying that products from different manufacturers can operate on a single, unified network. Cities can select best-in-class components — controllers, gateways, sensors — with the confidence that they will interoperate seamlessly, today and for decades to come. Wi-SUN’s enterprise-grade security architecture meets the stringent cybersecurity requirements that critical municipal infrastructure demands: • X.509 device certificates with ECDSA-SHA256 for unique device identity •
