Wi-Fi HaLow is the latest buzz in the world of Internet of Things (IoT). It is emerging as an attractive solution in the sector. It is offering a unique combination of low power consumption and strong connectivity. IoT devices are gradually becoming more integral to smart homes, agriculture and more industries. The need for reliable as well as energy-efficient wireless technology is the call of the time and Wi-Fi HaLow is stepping up to meet the demand. It is providing extended range, improved penetration and longer battery life as these are important for IoT applications.

Wi-Fi HaLow comes from the stable of Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA). The 802.11ah Wi-Fi HaLow standard is currently being tested in real-world scenarios such as smart cities, building automation, industrial IoT and smart retail.

WBA CEO Tiago Rodrigues said that the Wi-Fi HaLow is about extending the range of Wi-Fi and also about enhancing its capabilities in low-power environments. It is an important advancement as IoT devices often need to operate for extended periods without frequent battery changes or recharging.

One key aspect of Wi-Fi HaLow is its ability to penetrate walls and other obstacles effectively compared to traditional Wi-Fi.

Security is another key aspect where Wi-Fi HaLow excels. It is the call of the time to secure IoT devices. Wi-Fi HaLow offers a higher level of security and ensures that the data transmitted between devices is protected from unauthorized access.

The potential applications of Wi-Fi HaLow are very vast. It can enable more efficient monitoring of crops in agricultural sector. It can help in better resource management as well as high yields. This is just one example. The potential can be witnessed in various industries and sectors.
