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 is evaluating these use cases to demonstrate Wi-Fi HaLow’s real-world benefits and performance by analyzing critical metrics such as coverage, data rates, throughput, and signal reliability. Insights from these trials will contribute to new deployment guides, helping the broader industry roll out IoT solutions without needing proprietary or non-IP technologies to achieve automation, business insights, and the full potential of IoT.
The first field trial report, focusing on Americas-based use cases, is now available for download. Download here >>
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.
