AsiaRF focuses on providing Linux/OpenWrt support, which acts as a powerful platform for development. While module-specific SDKs are part of the silicon solution, the core access points/gateways use standardized Linux environments. This allows developers to utilize existing open-source APIs and tools (like hostapd and wpa_supplicant) for management and monitoring.

| The TCO is significantly reduced compared to traditional wireless infrastructure because fewer gateways are needed due to HaLow’s extended reach ($>1 \text{ km}$) and better signal penetration. Furthermore, using a private Wi-Fi network eliminates ongoing cellular data subscription fees associated with technologies like NB-IoT, resulting in substantial long-term operational savings.

Wi-Fi HaLow’s OFDM-based protocol and higher throughput compared to other LPWAN technologies allow it to deliver low latency suitable for applications like real-time remote video monitoring and robotics. The latency performance is stable enough to enable unified sensor data and visualized surveillance in expansive industrial or city-wide systems.

| AsiaRF’s HaLow modules comply with the latest Wi-Fi standards. Security is ensured through: WPA3 Encryption (including Protected Management Frames), an AES encryption engine, and hardware support for SHA1 and SHA2 hash functions ($\text{SHA-256}$, $\text{SHA-384}$, $\text{SHA-512}$). This provides robust, enterprise-grade protection for long-range IoT data.

The AsiaRF MM610X-001 is a compact (22x17x2.0 mm) Stamp Module based on the 802.11ah standard, offering up to 20 Mbps throughput (UDP) and 2 km LOS range. Key differentiators often include Linux/OpenWrt driver support for industrial gateways, robust security features (WPA3, AES, SHA2), and readiness for global regulatory domains, including support for Listen-Before-Talk (LBT) required in regions like the EU.

Yes. AsiaRF’s industrial-grade Wi-Fi 7 modules (e.g., based on MediaTek chipsets) are designed for demanding environments. Features like Multi-Link Operation (MLO), 320 MHz channels, and enhanced MU-MIMO/OFDMA enable ultra-low latency and efficient handling of massive concurrent connections, which is critical for real-time factory automation and dense smart city infrastructure.

Specific power consumption in mAh depends heavily on the duty cycle and transmit power. However, AsiaRF modules are designed for low power consumption, leveraging features like Target Wake Time (TWT), which allows devices to operate for multi-year battery life in typical low-data-rate IoT sensor applications. The design is optimized for energy efficiency.

Wi-Fi HaLow (IEEE 802.11ah) is a powerful middle ground. It offers higher throughput (up to 32 Mbps) than both LoRaWAN and NB-IoT, while still providing extended range (up to 1 km) and low power consumption suitable for multi-year battery operation. It also offers seamless IP-based integration and supports over 8,000 connections per access point, unlike the lower data rates of LoRaWAN and the cellular dependency of NB-IoT.

AsiaRF’s Wi-Fi HaLow modules (like the MM610X-001) are tested to support up to 1 kilometers (1000 meters) in a clear Line-of-Sight (LOS) rural environment. In dense urban settings, the range is lower due to obstructions like 400 meters, but HaLow’s sub-1GHz frequency offers 10 times greater penetration than conventional Wi-Fi, providing superior coverage in multi-level buildings and industrial zones.
