In 2008, Nivis moved to standards-based technology. The company deployed Direct-Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS), 802.15.4 2.4 GHz mesh technology, with partner for an intelligent street light controller. That year, Nivis launched an evaluation kit based on the ISA100.11a standard. Shortly after, Cisco and Nivis demonstrated a 6LoWPAN sensor network and in October the company signed a joint development agreement with Freescale.
