Overview of Wi-Fi HaLow™
Wi-Fi HaLow™ is one of the low-power wide-area (LPWA) communication methods using 920 MHz band.
We offer cutting-edge products that contribute to the world through collaboration with Morse Micro who develops Wi-Fi HaLow™ solutions.
Please visit Morse Micro's website for Wi-Fi HaLow™ products.
Features of Wi-Fi HaLow™
- Long-range transmission
The communication range is beyond 1 km, well beyond the reach of conventional Wi-Fi protocols.
This enables us to build a home network even outdoors such as in parking lots. - Wide bandwidth
The transmission bandwidth is up to several Mbps, which is limited to about 100 kbps in traditional LPWA communications.
Video and image transferring is also possible in the system, which previously only supported the transfer of sensor data. - IP communication
Like traditional Wi-Fi, IP communication using TCP/IP is possible, allowing for a seamless connection to conventional Wi-Fi.
It also supports the WPA3 security protocol.
Comparison Table
Wi-Fi HaLow™ achieves maximum transmission bandwidth among traditional LPWA communication methods.
It is also equipped with total specs of outstanding performance among license-free communications that are free to install.
