Back in 2017, the IEEE published a networking standard that would enable wireless users to do some very clever things, such as connect more than 8000 devices to a single access point. Multiple devices supporting the wireless networking protocol, dubbed Wi-Fi HaLow (802.11ah), are starting to hit the market. And having Wi-Fi that\u2019s accessible from over 1 km away, together with other IoT-friendly features, is getting developers interested. A quick history of Wi-Fi\u23f8\u2587 Wi-Fi has become the de facto way for a huge number of devices to connect to the internet \u2013 so much so that you\u2019ll struggle to find a modern laptop with a built-in wired Ethernet port. And when we\u2019re talking about Wi-Fi, we\u2019re referring to an IEEE wireless Ethernet standard known as 802.11. Over the years, that standard has evolved to support faster data transmission rates and operate across higher frequency bandwidths. Also, since 2008, the updates have been numbered 4 (802.11n), 5 (802.11ac), and 6 (802.11ax). Wi-Fi 7 was officially certified by the Wi-Fi Alliance on 8 Jan 2024. However, there\u2019s a trade-off between range and data transmission rate, as home broadband users will be aware of. At 2.4 GHz, the wireless network will probably cover the whole house \u2013 unless you\u2019ve got some particularly thick walls in the way. However, at 5 GHz you may need to add a range extender. And by the time you get to the super-high throughput 6 GHz band supported by Wi-Fi 6 and 7, you\u2019ll find that transmission is limited even further. Wi-Fi HaLow was created to provide a low-power wide area network necessary to support the large-scale deployment of IoT devices \u2013 for example, in industrial settings inside and outside of large buildings \u2013 while retaining all of the advantages of wireless Ethernet. Use cases for Wi-Fi HaLow\u23f8\u2587 A great example of how Wi-Fi HaLow wireless networks can benefit warehousing and retail is electronic shelf edge labels. These devices \u2013 based on battery-powered LCD or electronic paper screens \u2013 can be easily managed via Wi-Fi HaLow, which not only accommodates thousands of connected devices, but also provides energy-efficient networking. https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=xd0e3nH0KzI The power-saving nature of Wi-Fi HaLow is well-suited to battery-powered clients, which dramatically broadens the scope of where IoT technology can be deployed. For example, systems could be ideal for agricultural applications, bringing IoT into the field and barn. The wide-area coverage is also well-suited for manufacturing, healthcare, and smart city applications \u2013 to list just a few more industrial IoT scenarios. Taiwan-based AsiaRF has shown how wearable Wi-Fi HaLow gateway devices turn smartphones into walkie-talkies, with numerous industrial use cases. According to the engineers involved in the test, voice communications were clear when participants were stationary and on the move, up to a range of 1.5 km. Morse Micro \u2013 a fabless semiconductor start-up \u2013 went even further and demonstrated that it was possible to hold a video call between devices at either end of Ocean Beach in California, US, using an 802.11ah wireless network with a 3 km reach. Also, unlike other long-range wireless networking solutions such as LoRaWAN, Wi-Fi HaLow has all of the authentication and encryption features of a regular Wi-Fi network \u2013 such as WPA3-strength passwords, which is a boost for security.

Multiple devices supporting the wireless networking protocol, dubbed Wi-Fi HaLow (802.11ah), are starting to hit the market. And having Wi-Fi that\u2019s accessible from over 1 km away, together with other IoT-friendly features, is getting developers interested. A quick history of Wi-Fi\u23f8\u2587 Wi-Fi has become the de facto way for a huge number of devices to connect to the internet \u2013 so much so that you\u2019ll struggle to find a modern laptop with a built-in wired Ethernet port. And when we\u2019re talking about Wi-Fi, we\u2019re referring to an IEEE wireless Ethernet standard known as 802.11. Over the years, that standard has evolved to support faster data transmission rates and operate across higher frequency bandwidths. Also, since 2008, the updates have been numbered 4 (802.11n), 5 (802.11ac), and 6 (802.11ax). Wi-Fi 7 was officially certified by the Wi-Fi Alliance on 8 Jan 2024. However, there\u2019s a trade-off between range and data transmission rate, as home broadband users will be aware of. At 2.4 GHz, the wireless network will probably cover the whole house \u2013 unless you\u2019ve got some particularly thick walls in the way. However, at 5 GHz you may need to add a range extender. And by the time you get to the super-high throughput 6 GHz band supported by Wi-Fi 6 and 7, you\u2019ll find that transmission is limited even further. Wi-Fi HaLow was created to provide a low-power wide area network necessary to support the large-scale deployment of IoT devices \u2013 for example, in industrial settings inside and outside of large buildings \u2013 while retaining all of the advantages of wireless Ethernet. Use cases for Wi-Fi HaLow\u23f8\u2587 A great example of how Wi-Fi HaLow wireless networks can benefit warehousing and retail is electronic shelf edge labels. These devices \u2013 based on battery-powered LCD or electronic paper screens \u2013 can be easily managed via Wi-Fi HaLow, which not only accommodates thousands of connected devices, but also provides energy-efficient networking. https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=xd0e3nH0KzI The power-saving nature of Wi-Fi HaLow is well-suited to battery-powered clients, which dramatically broadens the scope of where IoT technology can be deployed. For example, systems could be ideal for agricultural applications, bringing IoT into the field and barn. The wide-area coverage is also well-suited for manufacturing, healthcare, and smart city applications \u2013 to list just a few more industrial IoT scenarios. Taiwan-based AsiaRF has shown how wearable Wi-Fi HaLow gateway devices turn smartphones into walkie-talkies, with numerous industrial use cases. According to the engineers involved in the test, voice communications were clear when participants were stationary and on the move, up to a range of 1.5 km.
