Driving global adoption of the Wize IoT Standard
An international ecosystem for connected infrastructure
Wize Alliance is an open and non-profit association that promotes an international standard for the Internet of Things. The organization brings together major international players from the industrial and utility sectors to support the implementation of a Long Range Wize Area Network technology called Wize.
More than 18 million connected devices worldwide
Due to the expertise and business of its founding members, SUEZ, Sagemcom and GRDF, wireless metering of water and gas is the starting point of the alliance.
Networks using Wize technology connect over 18 million objects worldwide and continue to expand, particularly through the roll-out of 11 million GRDF’s smart gas meters. Various use cases have already been implemented at an industrial scale such as energy or water smart metering (AMR), waste collection, air monitoring, etc...
Already proven all over the world, ambitions of Wize Alliance are to secure the durability and the sustainability of Wize technology through export and new markets.
Supporting Water, Gas, Energy and Smart City applications
Officially launched in March 2017, the organization has already opened up to many areas. Wize Alliance’s members now include energy and water grid operators, transmission and distribution operators, equipment, semiconductor and battery manufacturers, information systems and complex industrial systems integrators, security experts, academics, wireless technology experts and start-ups.
The Wize Alliance's ambition is to federate an ecosystem around the Wize technology by creating a maximum of use cases in low power and wide area and expand the technology in Europe and even in the world.
The digital is at the heart of the smart city to offer a balance between growth, quality of life and resources protection. Hence, the Wize Alliance, as a sustainable, global, robust and easy to deploy technology, provides a solution to the new urban challenges.
Thanks to Wize technology, Sagemcom Group will support its customers to meet the new smart metering needs. The creation of this alliance, supported by some of the gas and water world leaders, will allow the international development of this technology.
