The company became an Associate Member of the DALI Alliance in May 2026, while its DALI-2 products received certification during June and July 2026. Several additional products are currently in the certification pipeline. The certified portfolio includes 15W, 24W and 40W DT6 drivers, DT8 Tunable White drivers, and RGB DT8 drivers, reflecting the company's expanding range of intelligent lighting control solutions.
With this achievement, Unwired Connect joins a select group of Indian companies that design, develop, and manufacture DALI-2 certified products domestically. The milestone reinforces the company's commitment to advancing indigenous innovation in the building automation industry while meeting internationally recognized standards.
DALI-2 is the globally accepted standard for intelligent lighting control systems, enabling seamless interoperability between lighting and automation devices produced by different manufacturers. Certification confirms that products comply with rigorous requirements for performance, reliability, and compatibility, making them suitable for deployment across commercial buildings, hospitality projects, industrial facilities, and smart infrastructure developments worldwide.
Unlike many products in the market that depend on imported or rebranded technologies, Unwired Connect's DALI-2 certified solutions have been engineered entirely at the company's Research and Development and Innovation Centre in India and are manufactured locally. The certification demonstrates the company's ability to satisfy demanding international standards while developing technologies designed to address the evolving requirements of modern buildings.
Varun Joshi, Co-Founder of Unwired Connect, said achieving DALI-2 certification represents a significant milestone for the company and reflects the engineering expertise and innovation of its team. He stated that the accomplishment is particularly important because the products have been designed, developed, and manufactured in India. He added that becoming one of the few Indian companies with DALI-2 certified products demonstrates that world-class automation technologies can be developed locally while meeting the highest global standards. According to him, the certification further strengthens the company's position as a technology partner for the automation industry and enables it to offer customers a comprehensive portfolio spanning both wired and wireless automation solutions.
Nitesh Vasant, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer of Unwired Connect, said obtaining DALI-2 certification required every driver to demonstrate precise dimming performance, reliable fault handling, and genuine plug-and-play interoperability with products from other manufacturers. He stated that completing the entire development process in-house has enabled the company to gain complete expertise over its hardware and firmware, creating a strong foundation for expanding its DT6, DT8 Tunable White, and RGB product range in line with customer requirements.
The certification process required Unwired Connect to comply with stringent international benchmarks covering hardware architecture, electronic design, firmware development, interoperability testing, and product performance validation. Successfully meeting these standards highlights the company's focus on engineering excellence and its capability to deliver globally competitive automation products.
The certification also broadens the company's market opportunities by enabling stronger engagement with system integrators, lighting manufacturers, and automation solution providers seeking standards-compliant products for large-scale projects. With a complete portfolio supporting both wired and wireless automation ecosystems, Unwired Connect is positioned to address the increasing demand for intelligent, energy-efficient, and future-ready buildings.
As smart building adoption continues to accelerate across India and international markets, Unwired Connect remains focused on developing innovative automation technologies that simplify system integration, improve operational efficiency, and support sustainable infrastructure development.
