Wi-Fi HaLow for IoT

The “Wi-Fi HaLow for IoT” white paper gives an overview of the features, expected use cases, and markets for Wi-Fi HaLow. Wi-Fi HaLow enables extended ranges, improved penetration capabilities, extended battery life, enhanced device density, heightened peak throughput, minimized end-to-end delay, a higher level of security, ease of installation and management, and elevated data throughput in IoT scenarios.

WBA’s Wi-Fi HaLow for IoT program has moved into a new phase, testing 802.11ah Wi-Fi HaLow solutions in real-world use cases with contributing industry members. These include a range of applications including Smart Home, Smart City, Building Automation, Smart Retail, Industrial IoT, and Agriculture Technology.

The project team will test the use cases and applications to demonstrate the benefits and performance Wi-Fi HaLow has in the real world, including understanding crucial metrics such as coverage areas, data rates, throughput, and signal reliability. A detailed analysis from the trials will inform new deployment guides, helping wider industry successfully roll-out IoT solutions, without having to resort to proprietary or non-IP technologies to gain the automation, insights and business benefits that IoT promises to deliver.

For organizations eager to share relevant use cases and learning, we encourage you to reach out to the WBA Program Management Office (PMO) at pmo@wballiance.com. Be part of shaping the future of Wi-Fi.

Enrollment Criteria for WBA E2E QoS Trials Phase 1: Enhancing QoS over Wi-Fi Links

The document outlines the enrollment criteria for the WBA E2E (End-to-End) QoS (Quality of Service) Trials, specifically focusing on Phase 1, which aims to enhance QoS over Wi-Fi links. Learn more about WBA E2E QoS Project.

Join the E2E QoS Trials – Phase 1: Improving QoS over Wi-Fi Links

As we look forward to 2024, the WBA invites industry players to join the Wireless Broadband Alliance and become integral participants in the E2E Wi-Fi QoS program. This phase is dedicated to enhancing Quality of Service over Wi-Fi links. Our upcoming initiatives include completing the test plan, initiating trials, and unveiling Deployment Guidelines. Additionally, we will concentrate on consolidating efforts, crafting guidelines for deployment, and delving into Low Latency Services (L4S) to cater to applications with low latency requirements.

For organizations eager to engage in this exciting project, we encourage you to reach out to the WBA Program Management Office (PMO) at pmo@wballiance.com. Be part of shaping the future of Wi-Fi.


 

WBA Annual Industry Report 2024

The WBA Annual Industry Report 2024 is a must-read for anyone wanting to know exactly where Wi-Fi is and where it’s headed. Based on input from 200 enterprises, governments, fixed and mobile operators, vendors and other organizations worldwide, the WBA Annual Industry Report 2024 showcases how Wi-Fi technology continues to evolve in ways that anticipate the needs of consumers, businesses, enterprise verticals, smart cities and service providers.

Wi-Fi 6, 6E and 7 top the list of wireless technologies that network operators, ISPs, device and chipset vendors, enterprises and other companies plan to deploy by the end of 2024 — ahead of CBRS, DAS and private 4G/5G.

Furthermore, confidence in investment across the sector is rising with 58% saying they are more confident in investing in Wi-Fi compared to a year ago even though the business model remains the most pressing challenge for new deployments. 6GHz spectrum availability also remains front of mind with two thirds deeming it an important issue for 2024.

The report also explores how Wi-Fi benefits 14 vertical markets, including rural communities, connected transportation, health care, aviation and manufacturing. It also provides an update on Wi-Fi’s technology evolution, such as IEEE 802.11bf WLAN Sensing, 802.11bh Randomized MAC Addresses and 802.11bi Enhanced Data Privacy.
