Wi-SUN FAN operates on license-exempt sub-GHz RF band and uses frequency hopping to lower interference. Therefore, Wi-SUN is well suited for outdoor installations and dense urban neighborhoods.

The Mbed OS Wi-SUN stack is built on IPv6 over Low power Wireless Personal Area Networks (6LoWPAN), which itself builds on IEEE 802.15.4 to offer IP-based networking. Internet Protocol (IP) provides the core mechanism for relaying datagrams across IP networks, and its routing capabilities enable internetworking.
