Wavenis

Wavenis Wireless Technology is a 2-way Wireless connectivity platform dedicated to serving M2M applications. The main requirements in today's data-centric M2M industry are quite different from broadband and hi-speed Internet connections, and generally focus on providing ways to transmit small amounts of data wirelessly on a regular but non-permanent basis. Many M2M solutions are installed in places where access to electricity is not an option, so ultra-low-power consumption is a key feature for wireless M2M technologies, often with a requirement to provide multi-year operation in battery-powered devices such as utility meters and social alarms. Furthermore, a high link budget is required to provide acceptably long-range connections in a variety of dense urban environments as well as widespread rural areas.

Wavenis was created as a proprietary technology by Coronis Systems in 2001. In 2008, an initiative was undertaken to propagate the technology as an industry standard. The Wavenis Open Standard Alliance was created to manage and govern the technology moving forward. The alliance has 20 active members.
