Wi-Fi HaLow for buildings and campuses, covering every corner and every device.

A new long-range, low-power Wi-Fi standard that reaches across large buildings and campuses to connect hundreds of devices on one secure network

Wi-Fi HaLow simplifies connectivity for buildings and campuses

Security & surveillance

Extend cameras and readers to entrances, stairwells, parking, and perimeter, where cabling is impractical and standard Wi-Fi won't reach.

Energy & climate

Bring sub-metering, HVAC, lighting, and environmental sensors onto one network, so energy and ESG reporting cover the whole building, not just the wired parts.

Access & occupancy

Run door controllers, people-counting, and occupancy sensors on the same secure network, from the lobby to the loading dock.

The infrastructure problem

Enterprise Wi-Fi connects laptops, phones, and people well. But extending connectivity to locks, meters, sensors, and controls often means more access points, cable drops, gateways, and separate networks. As device counts grow, so does the cost and complexity of deploying and managing them.

Wi-Fi HaLow reduces that infrastructure: sub-GHz range to cover more of a building or campus, low power for battery devices, and native IP with WPA3 security on one Wi-Fi network.

Wi-Fi haLow for buildings and campuses

One network, less to manage

Less infrastructure changes how a building is run. One Wi-Fi network, on the IP stack facilities and IT teams already run, replaces the mix of gateways and separate systems, so there's less to commission, secure, and manage. Coverage reaches from the lobby to the roof and across the site, with fewer vendors and fewer places for coverage or security to break down.

CAPABILITIES

What Wi-Fi HaLow delivers for buildings and campuses

One native-IP network

Hundreds of devices (sensors, controls, cameras, access, and metering) on a single network, with no proprietary gateway or controller to bridge and secure.

Real, enterprise-grade security

WPA3 security delivered by an open Wi-Fi standard that the world tests, patches, and pushes forward.

Fewer vendors, less lock-in

One standards-based, Wi-Fi Alliance certified connectivity layer instead of several proprietary ecosystems often tied to a single vendor.

Building-wide coverage

Sub-GHz range and penetration reach across floors, basements, parking areas, and grounds, through concrete and steel.

Lower cost to build and maintain

Deliver building-wide wireless connectivity with fewer access points, reducing deployment cost, effort to expand, and complexity to maintain.

Low-power by design

Power-efficient operation and built-in low-power features that reduce how often deployed devices need servicing.

One network across entire buildings and campuses

Hundreds of devices across a building or campus, running on one secure IP-native network.

Built and backed by the Wi⁠-⁠Fi we all know and trust.

Defined by the IEEE

Wi-Fi HaLow is based on the 802.11ah standard, defined by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the same body behind every generation of Wi-Fi.

Certified by the Wi-Fi Alliance

Wi-Fi CERTIFIED HaLow is certified by the Wi-Fi Alliance, the global industry association that promotes interoperability, security, and consistent performance across Wi-Fi products.

Official testing via Morse Micro

As a Wi-Fi Alliance approved Wi-Fi HaLow testbed vendor, Morse Micro helps companies test, validate and refine their Wi-Fi HaLow products in preparation for certification.
