We\u2019ll pass over these in favor of discussing what makes Wi-Fi HaLow distinctive, starting with its frequency of operation.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: start;\"><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\"><strong>Wi-Fi HaLow vs. Traditional Wi-Fi: Operating Frequency<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">Depending on the specific standard, traditional Wi-Fi operates at frequencies ranging from 2 GHz and 6 GHz. By contrast, Wi-Fi HaLow operates in the sub-1GHz frequency band. The exact frequency range varies by country\u2014in the United States, it\u2019s between 902 MHz and 928 MHz.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">When compared to higher-frequency operation, operating below 1 GHz grants the following advantages:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"text-align: start;\">A less crowded spectrum.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: start;\">Greater maximum transmission distance.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: start;\">Better signal penetration.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: start;\">Lower power consumption.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">The disadvantage of this frequency band is that it limits bandwidth, which also translates to a limited data rate. Wi-Fi HaLow does have a higher data throughput than<span style=\"color: #ff7a45;\"> LoRaWan<\/span>, as we\u2019ll see in the next section. Still, it may work better as a complement to traditional Wi-Fi networks than as a replacement. The frequency difference between Wi-Fi HaLow and other Wi-Fi types reduces the risk of interference if they\u2019re used side-by-side.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\"><strong>Wi-Fi HaLow vs. LoRaWAN: Range and Data Rate<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">In theory, LoRaWan can cover distances of hundreds of kilometers. In practice, it\u2019s used to cover distances of about 5 km. Wi-Fi HaLow is designed to work in a range of 1 km, though it\u2019s possible to extend the area of coverage further by deploying the network in a mesh configuration. Even with that taken into account, LoRaWAN still has the greater range.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">On the other hand, Wi-Fi HaLow represents a large increase in speed. LoRaWAN works from 250 bps to 22 Kbps. As Figure 2 illustrates, Wi-Fi HaLow\u2019s data throughput ranges from 150 Kbps over long distances to 78 Mbps at short range. Note that these numbers assume a single spatial stream\u2014Wi-Fi HaLow can use up to four.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/file.flywing-tech.com\/res\/article\/202408231007027244075567cdb1cef55284c761fa8a09c5dbd80.png\" alt=\"\" data-href=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong>Figure 2. Data rate vs. distance for Wi-Fi HaLow and other IoT communication standards.

It\u2019s often discussed in the context of wireless security cameras.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\"><strong>Data Rates and Modulation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">The two preceding sections compared Wi-Fi HaLow with other wireless technologies. Now let\u2019s examine it on its own merits, starting with a slightly more detailed look at data throughput.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">Wi-Fi HaLow uses the following types of data modulation:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"text-align: start;\">Binary and Quadrature Phase Shift Keying<span style=\"color: #ff7a45;\"> (BPSK and QPSK)<\/span>.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: start;\">16, 64, and 256 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">The modulation and coding scheme (MCS) index for Wi-Fi HaLow includes 11 total options. Of these, MCS 0 through MCS 8 can use 1 MHz, 2 MHz, 4 MHz, 8 MHz or 16 MHz channels. MCS 9, which gives us the highest data rate, works on any of these bandwidths except for the 2 MHz channel. Finally, MCS 10 (which represents the minimum data rate and maximum transmission range) runs only on the 1 MHz channel.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">If you\u2019re interested in learning more, the full MCS index for Wi-Fi HaLow is included in a 2021 Wi-Fi Alliance white paper titled \u201c<span style=\"color: #ff7a45;\">Wi-Fi CERTIFIED HaLow? Technology Overview<\/span>.\u201d Note that you\u2019ll have to either sign into their website or create a guest account to view this. For the dedicated, the signup-averse, and people who really like spreadsheets, <span style=\"color: #ff7a45;\">MCSindex.net<\/span> provides a more extensive version of the index that includes numbers for multiple (up to four) spatial streams.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">The key thing to understand is that there\u2019s a trade-off between data rate and maximum transmission distance, and another between data rate and power consumption. Wi-Fi HaLow\u2019s wide range of data rates and modulation options\u2014and the ability to tune them\u2014allows the user to customize these trade-offs to meet the requirements of different applications.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\"><strong>Power Consumption<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">For battery-powered IoT devices, power consumption is a major consideration. The more power is consumed by the device\u2019s wireless connection, the more often its battery needs to be replaced. This is both a cost and a reliability issue\u2014if the battery is dead, the device can\u2019t transmit, and data is lost. Plus, having to constantly trek out to the location of a sensor and replace its battery is no fun at all.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">Wi-Fi HaLow is intended for use with exactly those kinds of devices, so it tries to keep power consumption down. It does this quite well. We mentioned one reason\u2014its low frequency of operation\u2014near the beginning of the article.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">It\u2019s not just the frequency band that makes a difference, however. Figure 3 compares device battery life for five different sub-1-GHz wireless technologies, including Wi-Fi HaLow (IEEE802.11ah). This figure comes from an IMEC research presentation on the topic, the slides of which are available <span style=\"color: #ff7a45;\">here<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/file.flywing-tech.com\/res\/article\/2024082310072772731f52fb6f8b5195ca5687e0ad8cc7a279708e.png\" alt=\"\" data-href=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong>Figure 3. Battery lifetime comparison for different sub-1-GHz wireless technologies. Image used courtesy of <\/strong><\/em><span style=\"color: #ff7a45;\"><em><strong>Jeroen Famaey<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">As you can see, Wi-Fi HaLow provides the best battery life of the five options.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">Contributing to this performance are Wi-Fi HaLow\u2019s multiple power-saving modes. These reduce the amount of time that devices must spend awake in order to not be dropped by the access point and require re-authentication. For the specifics of Wi-Fi HaLow\u2019s energy saving features, please refer to the Wi-Fi Alliance white paper linked to in the previous section.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\"><strong>Wi-Fi HaLow: What Is It Good For?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">At this point, we should have a pretty good idea of Wi-Fi HaLow\u2019s strengths. To recap, it offers:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"text-align: start;\">Low power consumption; extended battery life for connected devices.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: start;\">Mid-to-long range data transmission.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: start;\">High enough data throughput to transmit video over relatively long distances.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: start;\">Options for adjusting the data rate based on application requirements.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: start;\">Simultaneous connection from one access point to many devices with differing requirements.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: start;\">High signal penetration, useful for networks with no direct line of sight between nodes.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: start;\">An operating frequency that won\u2019t interfere with higher-speed Wi-Fi networks in the same vicinity.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">So, how does this translate to real-world applications? We mentioned remote security cameras earlier in the article, but Wi-Fi HaLow also has potential for use in smart buildings and smart agriculture.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">Both industrial buildings and agricultural facilities use extensive networks of remote sensors and actuators. Wi-Fi HaLow provides good scalability, and the sensors and actuators benefit from its energy efficiency. Meanwhile, long range and high signal penetration means better connection with nodes that are not only far away but also separated from the access point by walls or dense vegetation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">For more details about Wi-Fi HaLow applications, I suggest the following white paper from the Wireless Broadband Alliance: \u201c<span style=\"color: #ff7a45;\">Wi-Fi HaLow for IoT: Field Trials Report<\/span>.\u201d Published in July 2024, it\u2019s a great deal more recent than the Wi-Fi Alliance technology overview. However, as with the Wi-Fi Alliance paper, you will have to sign in or create a free account to access it. Whether you choose to look further into Wi-Fi HaLow or not, I hope you\u2019ve found this article informative.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\"><em>Featured image used courtesy of <\/em><span style=\"color: #ff7a45;\"><em>Adobe Stock<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wi-Fi HaLow, based on the IEEE 802.11ah standard, is a low-power, long-range wireless protocol operating in the sub-1GHz spectrum.
