Addressing the need for low-power, high-reliability connectivity in IoT solutions, Wi-Fi HaLow promises extended ranges, improved penetration capabilities, longer battery life, enhanced device density, higher level of security, and elevated data throughput in IoT scenarios.
The Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA) recently announced that the Wi-Fi HaLow for IoT program has moved into a new phase, testing 802.11ah Wi-Fi HaLow solutions in real-world use cases. These include ranging from smart home, smart city, and building automation to smart retail, industrial IoT, and agriculture technology. We talked with Tiago Rodrigues, CEO of the WBA, about the trials and the overall IoT marketplace.
