Refer to the separate sheet for the main specifications of the RAA604S00 Wi-SUN-compliant wireless communications SoC and the RL78/G1H Wi-SUN-compliant energy-efficient 16-bit MCU.
(Note 1) A HAN CTBU is a device certified by the Wi-SUN Alliance for use in interconnection testing. In other words, all manufacturers wishing to provide compliance with the Wi-SUN certification standard must test their devices with the Renesas wireless solution.
(Note 2) The Wi-SUN Alliance is an international industry group tasked with formulating a wireless communication standard for the sub-gigahertz band (the 920 MHz band in Japan). The physical layer (PHY layer) of the standard provides interconnectivity based on the IEEE 802.15.4g standard. It is achieving widespread adoption as a way to implement communication in so-called “smart houses” equipped with smart meters and home energy management systems (HEMS).
(Note 3) Wi-SUN Profile for ECHONET Lite is a wireless communication standard for ECHONET Lite that was formulated by the Wi-SUN Alliance based on the IEEE 802.15.4g standard.
