4.1 Wi-SUN FAN

An example of a field area network on a larger scale is shown Figure 4-1. Such a network is used in equipment that requires large scale communication. An example are street lights inside of a city or sensors communicating in a factory.

Example of a FAN Figure 4-1 Example of a FAN

A FAN is made up of many smaller size personal area networks (PAN). Figure 4-1 shows an example of one PAN distribution with a border router (BR) as the head device for WAN connectivity and many router nodes (RN) as end devices. The BR keeps track of the addresses of all the router nodes within the network and manages routing to them. Each RN provides upward and downward packet forwarding inside the PAN and can be used to add new devices to the network by sharing security and address protocols to a new device.
