“Ocean Forecasting” aims to provide accurate weather data. Even in areas with weak network signals, users can receive real-time information on wind speed, weather, and more. This allows for informed decisions, ensuring safer and more enjoyable maritime activities. AsiaRF has introduced the Wi-Fi HaLow IoT Gateway ARFHL-AP, embedded with the industry-leading Morse Micro MM610X Wi-Fi HaLow chip, offering users the following features for their ocean forecasting experience:

• Real-time sharing of precise GPS locations.
• Checking current weather conditions.
• Posting and sharing blog articles and photos.
• Real-time location synchronization, allowing others to track and understand relevant statuses, greatly enhancing maritime safety.

Wi-Fi HaLow is an open standard wireless technology operating in the sub-GHz frequency band. It offers long-distance transmission and superior penetration capabilities at low frequencies, making it especially suitable for obstructed environments. Its low-power nature ensures extended battery life, significantly reducing maintenance costs.

Wi-Fi HaLow in Marine Communication and Safety Applications:

1. Starlink and Similar LEO Satellites: Providing remote data connectivity through satellite technology.  
2. Mobile Satellite Router: A mobile device that ensures connectivity is maintained during long-distance travels. 
3. 2.4GHz Frequency: This is the traditional Wi-Fi frequency, suitable for short-range transmission.  
4. Sub-1GHz Frequency: Technology behind Wi-Fi HaLow, offering transmission distances over 1km and strong penetration capabilities.  
5. Wi-Fi HaLow Gateway (ARFHL-AP): A gateway designed specifically for Wi-Fi HaLow, providing dual-band support to ensure stable connections in various environments. 
6. Wi-Fi HaLow DIY Kit (ARFHL-575): A development tool kit used for data transmission and integration.
   

Main features of AsiaRF’s ARFHL-AP include:

• Based on the IEEE 802.11ah open standard.
• Flexible connection modes: Supports AP/CLI, eliminating the need for proprietary hubs or gateways.
• Dual-frequency support: Combines Sub-1GHz Wi-Fi HaLow and traditional 2.4GHz Wi-Fi for both long and short-distance connections.
• Star topology, operating in the Sub-1GHz frequency band.
• Capable of transmitting over distances exceeding 1 kilometer, with signals that penetrate walls and obstacles.
• Depending on the application, the battery life can last over 5 years.
• Incorporates advanced WPA3 and Wi-Fi Enhanced Open™ security mechanisms.
• Speed ranges from 150 Kbps to 86.7 Mbps, catering to different transmission distance needs.

With the features of the AsiaRF Wi-Fi HaLow IoT Gateway ARFHL-AP, its application in ocean forecasting becomes even more prominent. In offshore areas, users can leverage its dual-frequency feature to share real-time data on wind speed and direction to GPS tracking pages, ensuring safer navigation.

Wi-Fi HaLow, with its reliable transmission and extensive coverage, holds limitless potential in future IoT applications. And with the ARFHL-AP being the World’s First Wi-Fi CERTIFIED HaLow™ Gateway certified by the Wi-Fi Alliance, it promises even more long-distance, low-power wireless networking opportunities for you and your business.
