Featured Product
Wi-Fi HaLow's range makes it ideal for large industrial sites and fields
Wi-Fi HaLow enhances range and penetration while fortifying security and power efficiency, making it a cornerstone technology for IoT use cases. It delivers the familiar benefits of the Wi-Fi standard, such as easy integration, native IP support, the latest Wi-Fi security measures such as WPA3, and extensive ecosystem support. Additionally, there is no need for proprietary hubs and gateways since HaLow is a standard. The choice of lower frequencies offers a compelling mix of extended range and robust penetration through physical obstacles. Moreover, the low-power aspect of the technology enables HaLow devices to be powered by coin-sized cell batteries for months and, in some cases, years.
