In truth, Wi-Fi HaLow is not new. The solution, geared towards low-power mid-range IoT solutions, was announced back in 2016. But there is gathering momentum around it, with chips and devices in the latter stages of development and a queue of customers apparently lined...
Wi-Fi is a decades-old technology, but it remains as relevant as ever because it continues to evolve in ways that benefit vendors, service providers and their customers. The Wi-Fi Alliance’s 2015 annual report is a convenient opportunity to look back and forward at some of the...
Wi-Fi standards are focusing not only on faster and more efficient Wi-Fi (although that continues to be part of the standard’s evolution), but in expanding Wi-Fi’s use in different spectra and for specific use cases.
Wi-Fi standards originate with the Institute of Electrical and Electronics...
The Wi-Fi Alliance is breaking new ground with the launch of what it terms a low power Wi-Fi solution called Wi-Fi HaLow. The Alliance says the solution will utilize spectrum frequencies below 900 MHz to enable low power connectivity, which it said will nearly...
