New Delhi: The latest Wi-Fi technology is likely to hit the market soon. According to the reports, the next-generation Wi-Fi, dubbed Wi-Fi HaLow, has received certification from the Wi-Fi alliance.
Reports also suggest that the new Wi-Fi is capable of long-range connections of up to 1 kilometres while consuming a lot less power along the way.
The latest technology has been developed with a greater focus on Internet of Things (IoT). Wi-Fi HaLow is aimed at enabling use cases in industrial, agricultural, smart building, and smart city environments. The new WiFi HaLow works in the sub-1GHz spectrum. At present, the Wi-Fi that we use today operates between radio frequencies 2.4GHz to 5GHz. The frequency allows for the transmission of a high amount of data in the least time possible.
Here are some of the important details:
- Frequency range: Wi-Fi Halow allows a longer wavelength range, making the signals travel farther than conventional Wi-Fi
- Wi-Fi Halow exceed the 1-kilometre radius
- It supports over 8,000 devices simultaneously.
- The new WiFi HaLow works in the sub-1GHz spectrum
- There is no tentative timeline for the launch of the Wi-Fi HaLow devices as of now.
