Wi-Fi HaLow for IoT Field Trials Report
Building on the successful real-world applications of Phase 1 of the Wi-Fi HaLow for IoT project across multiple sectors, which demonstrated deployed IEEE 802.11ah Wi-Fi HaLow ability to provide reliable, long-range, low-power connectivity, making it an ideal solution for a variety of IoT scenarios.
The “Wi-Fi HaLow for IoT: Field Trials Report” demonstrated the effectiveness of IEEE 802.11ah Wi-Fi HaLow, which provides reliable, long-range, and low-power connectivity across diverse IoT scenarios. Notably, the trials were conducted in the United States, showcasing the technology’s scalability and efficiency in dense urban areas and large industrial settings.
This comprehensive report details significant enhancements in range, material penetration, battery life, device density, security, installation, management, and data throughput compared to existing Wi-Fi standards. Application use cases tested include Smart Home, Warehousing, Smart Farm, Smart City, Smart Office Building, Smart School Campus, and Smart Industrial Complex, focusing on large-scale implementations and the challenges posed by different environments.
The WBA now invites industry players from EMEA and APAC to engage in the upcoming Phase 3 trials, aiming to further explore and expand the capabilities of Wi-Fi HaLow technology in diverse environments and applications.
For organizations eager to share relevant use cases and learning, we encourage you to reach out to the WBA Program Management Office (PMO) with this form. Be part of shaping the future of Wi-Fi.
RADIUS Accounting Assurance Industry Framework
Discover the transformative potential of accurate RADIUS accounting with our latest report, “RADIUS Accounting Assurance Industry Framework.” Developed by the WBA members, this comprehensive framework addresses critical challenges in RADIUS accounting practices, vital for network management and Wi-Fi roaming.
Why RADIUS Accounting Matters
Since its inception in 1997, RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) accounting remains crucial for monitoring data usage across network access servers. As network technologies advance and demand for seamless connectivity grows, the accuracy of RADIUS accounting data is pivotal for operational excellence and customer satisfaction.
With a particular focus on Wi-Fi networks and roaming scenarios, the report highlights the need for accurate data usage tracking to ensure effective billing, analytics, and settlement processes.
Highlights and Benefits:
- Enhanced Data Accuracy: Implement standardized methodologies for detecting and correcting errors to ensure precise data reporting and billing.
- Reduced Financial Discrepancies: Address billing errors and financial disputes, especially critical in Wi-Fi roaming scenarios.
- Improved Interoperability: Promote seamless integration across diverse network equipment, enhancing system compatibility and functionality.
- Industry Best Practices: Access expert insights on standardized methods to detect, report, and handle inaccuracies for reliable data handling.
- Collaborative Efforts: Learn about initiatives led by the WBA’s Roaming Work Group and the integration into the Wireless Roaming Intermediary eXchange (WRIX) framework to unify and enhance RADIUS data management.
- Informed Decision Making: Use accurate data to make informed choices about network management, strategic planning, and capacity management.
The framework is an ongoing project, open to participation from industry stakeholders aiming to refine and enhance the reliability of RADIUS accounting. We invite industry players to join this collaborative effort to implement the proposed improvements and benefit from shared expertise, thus enhancing its effectiveness and industry acceptance.
