The wi-fi Alliance (wi-fi Alliance) recently, in view of the IEEE 802.11 ah technology products launched a new generation of wi-fi standard - HaLow. Wi-fi HaLow can work in less than 1 - GHz frequency band, for wi-fi CERTIFIED CERTIFIED products provide cover a wider range and lower power consumption ability of connection.

According to the wi-fi alliance, wi-fi HaLow family for wisdom, networking and digital medical and industrial, retail, agriculture and urban environmental wisdom brings a series of energy conservation and new applications.

Wi-fi HaLow will make the wi-fi technology is further extended to 900 MHZ, sensor and wearable device need ability of low consumption of attachment. Range is covered by this standard will be more widely than existing wi-fi technology nearly 2 times, in addition to allowing further signal transmission, but also in a challenging environment to provide more strong ability of attachment - in this kind of challenging environment, serious can easily through the thick walls or other obstacles ability is one of the important consideration.

"The new standard will be widely adopted in the existing wi-fi agreement, to provide consumers expect from existing wi-fi see advantages, including multiple exchange operation between the suppliers and the powerful security of the government level, and simple installation," the union said.

Like all wi-fi devices, wi-fi HaLow device will support based on IP connection capacity, connect the machine to the cloud, the realization of Internet of things (IoT) full potential will become more and more important. Dense deployment device will also benefit from the wi-fi HaLow thousands of device can be connected through a single access point (AP).

Wi-fi HaLo is expected to reinforcing the existing wi-fi technology, and with a wi-fi can be realized low power solution to expand the wi-fi alliance overall product portfolio, so as to keep a key role in the IoT.

New agreement available WIFI, Internet of things will become mainstream?

The wi-fi alliance is now more activities on the Internet of things, to assist the further expansion of wisdom wi-fi families, and other areas. In particular, the wi-fi alliance is now developing a new method of safe, easy to connect and configure devices, without the need for display or input device, like the current intelligent household devices used by applications. In order to meet the unique market demand, the wi-fi alliance in addition to continuing expansion plans, also recently released new product category, class will not be considered to be a series of long high-tech devices (including the vacuum cleaner with the handle) are added to wi-fi connection to the certification scope.
