The Term HaLow is no longer one pertaining to just an energized gaming console. The IEEE has release a new standard for us to work with and all I can say is "ah........"
802.11ah is a low powered frequency living in the 900MHz realm (902 - 928MHz). These signals will penetrate walls, doors, pictures, TV sets, and other obstacles a lot better than our usual 2.4GHz and 5GHz signals.
One great thing is the power consumption savings. The signal isn't degraded as much as it passes through objects in its path so devices use less energy when transmitting and receiving information.
For cities, counties, states, and federal.... The low power and extended range will allow monitoring of gates, doors, roads, bridges, buildings and more.
What we citizens can expect to see this protocol do for us is:
- it will be a way for our cars, trucks, TVs, fridge, microwave, watches, etc.. to communicate and update us and/or the maintenance man about troubles and parts needed to fix them. Also it will simply be a notification signal used for driveway sensors, mailbox doors, etc.... lol
You name it and the possibilities are endless, and it will possibly become an alternative to BlueTooth.
Since the 900MHz signal can propagate much farther than the 2.4GHz signals, we will get better distances leading us to more home options for tech-savy gadgets around the home.
Get ready to be the Internet Nerd and replace all of your appliances with IPv6 capable Wi-Fi appliances and completely automate your home for the future.
Remote control Coffee Makers, dish washers, kitty litter boxes, and more... lol
802.11ah the "Wave" of the future.
