Open UNB (Open Ultra-Narrowband)

Open UNB (Open Ultra-Narrowband) is the protocol of wireless data transmission for high-capacious networks on the basis of supernarrow-band communication. Such networks are applied at data collection from metering devices in the system of housing and public utilities.

2020: Equipment of the equipment of GoodWAN support of the OpenUNB protocol

The GoodWAN company entered consortium of Competence center of NTI based on Skoltech on technologies of wireless communication and Internet of Things. As the industrial partner it will provide support of the OpenUNB protocol on the equipment, reported on August 26, 2020 in RVC company.

The internet protocol of things OpenUNB developed by Competence center of NTI based on Skoltech has the status of the preliminary national standard. For August, 2020 it is the first open UNB standard.

UNB is held for use in a specific niche — leaky inhabited areas with the sensors and devices installed in the hardly accessible or closed places which do not have access to external power supplies (for example, gas and water meters, etc.). The UNB standard allows to optimize energy consumption at high sensitivity and to use the entrusted cryptography.

Characteristics of OpenUNB are comparable or exceed similar indicators of other standards, in that number in capacity, autonomy and energy efficiency. OpenUNB exceeds the LoRaWAN standard on the area of a covering (with other things being equal) by 3-4 times.

"We are glad to the beginning of joint work with GoodWAN. OpenUNB developed by us conforms to foreign and Russian proprietary standards and exceeds the existing open standards of communication of NB and UNB. Now creation of networks under the OpenUNB protocol will be possible on GoodWAN equipment, and the wide partner network of the company will provide commercialization. GoodWAN separates our confidence that the future of a telecom – behind open solutions. This principle is the cornerstone of the OpenUNB standard in which development and discussion the most wide range of industry players was involved. This approach allows to expect development of an ecosystem of OpenUNB in monitoring of utility networks, in the industry, in solutions for rural and forest farms. At last, it is an excellent example of work of consortium Central Committee NTI. In cooperation with industrial partners it turns out to start big and difficult projects, to commercialize scientific developments and to develop modern technologies", - Dmitry Lakontsev, the head of Competence center of NTI based on Skoltech told.

"Consolidation of our examination in development of radio solutions with competences of the Central Committee of NTI BSIV will allow to develop an optimal solution for a segment of Internet of Things. GoodWAN opened for experts of consortium Central Committee NTI the developments, namely - the radio protocol and solutions on enciphering and dynamic coding of the transmitted data. Consolidation of practices GoodWAN with serious practices of the Central Committee of NTI regarding signal and code construction of the protocol will allow to offer our country and the international community ideal solution LPWAN: cheap, safe, open, deprived of shortcomings which have the most widespread world LoRa and SigFox systems now. We already have wide experience of practical application of our solutions in Russia and abroad and together with consortium Central Committee NTI we adapt OpenUNB technology to real requirements of the market", - Denis Muravyov, the CEO of GoodWAN commented on an event.
