Why Wi-Fi HaLow Matters
Wi-Fi HaLow is a game-changer for utilities and consumers alike. Unlike conventional Wi-Fi, HaLow is designed for long-range, low-power IoT, making it ideal for smart meters, sensors, and behind-the-meter appliances. It enables:
Better grid stability through real-time load balancing and demand-side management
Reduced infrastructure costs by retrofitting existing meters and forming self-organizing mesh networks
Improved energy efficiency for consumers through actionable insights and optimized appliance control
Future-proof infrastructure thanks to open standards (IEEE 802.11ah), robust security (WPA3), and OTA updates
Wi-Fi HaLow doesn’t just connect devices – it connects the future of energy.
