Wi-Fi HaLow (IEEE 802.11ah) extends Wi-Fi below 1 GHz for longer range, better penetration, and lower power. It delivers secure, native IP connectivity over a kilometer in open environments without proprietary gateways, vendor clouds, or protocol translation.
802.11ah HaLow is a wireless networking standard that uses the 900 MHz unlicensed frequency bands. This allows for for longer range than standard 802.11 WiFi, which can be crucial in some sensor IoT applications. Additionally, 802.11ah features lower power consumption, likening it more to Bluetooth BLE than standard high power WiFi which is needed for pushing large amounts of data. The 802.11ah has a throughput of up to several megabits, which makes it ideal for IoT applications that are passing sensor data, telemetry and smaller requirements. 802.11ah is an open standard and does not require the joining of a consortium.
