Summary - Y.4708 (09/2025) - Management framework for Internet of things (IoT)-based distributed power equipment

In recent years, the trend towards the intelligence and IoT integration of power equipment has become increasingly evident. Utilizing various distributed sensors and their IoT systems enables functions such as power equipment status monitoring, diagnostic evaluation and maintenance decision-making. Meanwhile, the safe, stable and reliable operation of power equipment also depends on the effective collaboration of numerous IoT sensing and controlling devices. Consequently, the need for unified management and coordination of power equipment and their sensing or controlling devices using distributed IoT technology has become increasingly urgent.
Recommendation ITU-T Y.4708 provides the management framework for IoT-based distributed power equipment, including the framework, functional systems and reference interfaces.
