HaLow WiFi is a promising technology for Internet of Things devices, offering a low-energy, long-range wireless connection solution. Indeed, a new record for data transmission over a distance of 16 kilometers has now been set, paving the way for many practical uses in the future.

HaLow Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11ah standard) has been specifically designed to offer both low power consumption and long range. Another significant advantage is that its use of low frequencies (below 1 GHz) makes it far less sensitive to interference than a conventional wireless connection.
