New Wi-Fi standard HaLow announcement: Bluetooth with low power consumption and high power consumption

Recently, the Wi-Fi Alliance has passed a new standard, namely the expansion of the 802.11ah standard, which is called "HaLow ".

As named by myself, HaLow focuses on low-power and low-power devices. The operator has set his sights on the currently evolving IoT, including smart home.

Currently, smart home has multiple communication protocols, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and ZigBee, And the Wi-Fi Alliance said HaLow will have better performance than bluetooth technology.

 

 

This does not make sense. HaLow operates in an unauthorized 2.4 MHz band, providing better penetration and coverage than the current GHz/5 GHz band.

Of course, the disadvantage is that it is necessary to overcome the interference of unauthorized frequency bands, and the HaLow transmission rate is not large due to taking care of power consumption.

It is reported that HaLow officially launched commercial terminals on July 15, 2018.
