How Wi-Fi HaLow brings together low power, long range, strong penetration and high security to power a new generation of IoT devices

The technology was certified by the Wi-Fi Alliance in 2021 and HaLow-enabled devices are now in the early stage of deployment. HaLow operates in frequency bands below 1GHz (typically around the 900MHz band), as opposed to the 2.4GHz and 5GHz or 6GHz bands used by the more common Wi-Fi standards like 802.11n (Wi-Fi 4) and 802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5) or the latest high-capacity ones like 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6/6E) and 802.11be (Wi-Fi 7). This strategic choice of frequency band not only enhances range and penetration but also fortifies security and power efficiency, making Wi-Fi HaLow a cornerstone technology for internet of things (IoT) use cases.
