Next- Gen Wi- Fi Will Actually Connect the Internet of Things. There are plenty of blockades between now and the connected- device future that’s been so long on the horizon. One of these is Wi- Fi, which has limitations that keep connected devices from connecting quite as efficiently as they could. Now, there’s a plan in place to fix it. The Wi- Fi Alliance, the organization that dictates and advances Wi- Fi standards, has announced the latest iteration of its increasingly indispensable technology.
Called Ha. Low, it promises to double the range of standard 2. GHz Wi- Fi connections, while also doing a better job of penetrating walls, floors, and other obstacles that can make your Wi- Fi sputter and skulk. It’s Wi- Fi for smartwatches and Internet- enabled coffee makers and whatever other connected appliance might suit your deranged fancy. It manages this deftness and range by operating on the 9. MHz band, a chunk of spectrum that’s better suited for small data payloads and low- power devices than the relatively intensive, battery- straining 2. GHz and 5. GHz bands on which most current Wi- Fi routers operate.
To cut through the numbers and specs and standards for a moment: It’s Wi- Fi for smartwatches and Internet- enabled coffee makers and whatever other connected appliance might suit your deranged fancy. For a consumer, you might imagine someone who wants to deploy a water sensor in their basement to detect flooding or a motion sensor at the end of their driveway to warn them of someone arriving late at night,” says Kevin Robinson, Wi- Fi Alliance vice- president of marketing. In both of these cases, Wi- Fi Ha. Low will deliver power- efficient connectivity to the home access point (and the Internet) despite the challenging environment caused by obstructions in the device’s path or ranges involved.”At this point you might be wondering why we’d need such a thing, when so much of what we’ve just described is already capably handled by Bluetooth, the connectivity tech of choice for most low- powered, online devices. You’re right to wonder!

The Wii (/ ˈ w iː / WEE) is a home video game console released by Nintendo on November 19, 2006. As a seventh-generation console, the Wii competes with Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Sony's PlayStation 3. Nintendo states that its. A game based on the 2010 film Iron Man 2. Take control of Iron Man and his new partner War Machine to take down evil with flying suits and superior firepower. The 802.11 technology behind WiFi was invented in 1996 by Australian scientists from the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) in.
There are a few potential answers, the most important of which being that Wi- Fi connects devices directly to the Internet, not just to another device. That may not seem so important now, but it will be critical as wearables, in particular, strive to become truly untethered. Eventually, connected devices need to transition from Pinocchio to real boy. Ha. Low should help that process. Also, unlike Bluetooth, Wi- Fi Halow’s ambitions extend quite a bit further than than your living room.“Wi- Fi Ha. Low is well suited to meet the unique needs of the Smart Home, Smart City, and industrial markets,” says Edgar Figueroa, Wi- Fi Alliance President and CEO. It] expands the unmatched versatility of Wi- Fi to enable applications from small, battery- operated wearable devices to large- scale industrial facility deployments.”That’s partly because, Robinson pointed out, in addition to the various security and interoperability features found in the Wi- Fi you know, Ha.
Low will also share its ability to “support thousands of devices per access point.” That means a business that requires huge numbers of environmental monitoring stations across multiple facilities would have a simple, integrated way to keep track of them. All of this depends on a few factors that won’t be decided for (sorry!) a number of years. It will take until 2. Wi- Fi Alliance to begin certifying Ha. Low products, after which the tech needs to make its way into your router, then into your wearable. That’s all going to take a significant amount of time, during which Bluetooth will also continue to iterate and improve. Not to mention that Wi- Fi and Bluetooth, while arguably the most recognizable standards encroaching on the Io.
T space, are just two of several connectivity options. Ever heard of Zig. Bee and Z- Wave, for example?)That may be why, although Ha. Low should enable devices to be more helpful than our current slate of Io. T hits and misses, connected device companies seem to be treating it with some degree of caution.“As an open platform, Smart. Things continuously monitors the standards environment,” says Dan Lieberman, Head of Research and Standards for the smart home company Samsung purchased in August of 2.
Maybe that will be Wi- Fi Ha. Low. Maybe it won’t. There’s a bit of chicken- and- egg thing at play here, further muddied by the assumption that we’re on an irrevocable march toward always- connected everything (the Wi- Fi Alliance nods optimistically to internet- capable “vacuum cleaners and door knobs” in its Wi- Fi Ha. Low press release).
The thing is, that’s not necessarily the case. According to Forrester Research, only 1. US online adults use one or more smart home device, and that’s long after the release of relatively break- out products like the Nest Thermostat and Philips Hue connected light bulbs. Simply put, even if Wi- Fi Ha.
Low works as advertised, will there be an Internet of Things waiting for it to connect them by the time it finally proliferates? The Wi- Fi Alliance thinks Ha. Low will solve exactly the kinds of problems that are keeping homes from smartening up. Besides which, there’s something to be said for the power of trust.
People know and love Wi- Fi,” says Robinson, “and Wi- Fi Ha. Low devices certified by Wi- Fi Alliance will give them confidence to adopt this new technology.”Still, if everything goes according to plan–at least, the Wi- Fi Alliance’s plan—we could be just a few years away from connected devices that reliably connect, directly to the Internet, from as far away as you need them to. It’s a start. This story has been updated to include comment from the Wi- Fi Alliance.
