Scientific and technological developments in the growing popularity of things present, Wi-Fi as a way to connect all the important presence of "substance", play an increasingly important role in their lives. The Wi-Fi Alliance recently introduced a new low-power version of Wi-Fi technology called HaLow, which is said to be used in smart homes, car networking, and smart cities.
The alliance also announced plans to launch Wi-Fi positioning technology, which will provide indoor positioning services similar to the Bluetooth beacon technology.
The Internet of Things-related applications account for a significant portion of the new content announced by the Wi-Fi Alliance at CES2016. We can view the HaLow and Wi-Fi positioning as competing responses to the ultra-narrowband network and Bluetooth beacon technology, respectively.
Prior to the release of HaLow, the Wi-Fi Alliance introduced a new class of alliance members in September last year. These companies did not regard the connection as the primary concern of their devices, but now they have added Wi-Fi capabilities to their devices. .
According to Francesco Radicati, senior analyst for digital services at Ovum, HaLow represents the expansion of Wi-Fi capabilities in the home. This technology runs in the 900MHz band, and the Wi-Fi Alliance says it will help Wi-Fi penetrate walls and other barriers better, allowing sensors, wearables, and smart meters to work better. The technology is also designed to solve the problem of maintaining outdoor network connectivity, for example, in the company or corporate settings, so that users can keep the network connected at all times while moving between buildings.
The alliance’s goal is to introduce triple-band Wi-Fi routers that support HaLow's ability to operate in parallel with regular Wi-Fi technology without interference. However, the interference may come from other sources, such as baby monitors in home appliances that already operate in the 900 MHz band. In addition, some countries have reserved the 900 MHz band for mobile communication services, so there is a danger of interference from the source.
This means that HaLow is more likely to be accepted in environments that require longer range and lower data transfer. Although the main obstacle is the deployment of tri-band Wi-Fi routers that support HaLow, ultra-narrowband networks (such as Sigfox in France) need to deploy a complete network to achieve similar functionality.
Another potential competitor that is even more of a threat to HaLow is the narrowband LTE (NB-LTE) protocol, which is backed by Nokia, Ericsson, and Intel. Like HaLow, NB-LTE benefits from an existing network system, but it may be more expensive than HaLow or other ultra-narrowband networks and will be suitable for more advanced uses.
At the same time, Wi-Fi positioning is a challenge to the deployment of existing Bluetooth beacon technology. The Wi-Fi Alliance stated that it will provide many advantages over existing technologies, including providing accurate indoor positioning data, but it remains to be seen whether this technology can provide a better user experience than beacons. On the other hand, after cooperating with existing Wi-Fi technology, Wi-Fi positioning technology will also help smart homes become smarter.
