Welcome to the 4TU Workshop on WiFi HaLow (i.e., the long-range WiFi)!
WiFi is dominating the wireless local area networks. To make it also a competitive technology for the next-generation Internet of Things (IoT), WiFi HaLow with distinct new IoT features has been released by WiFi Alliance and has attracted extensive attention. Like other IoT technologies such as LoRa and NB-IoT, WiFi HaLow is long-range (>1 km) and low-power. Meanwhile, HaLow can offer a much higher data rate (e.g., >100x at 1 km distance), native IP support, and can be seamlessly integrated into the pervasively existing WiFi access points without extra deployment cost. WiFi HaLow increases the traditional WiFi ubiquity, making it suitable for intelligent IoT applications such as smart cities and precision agriculture.
In this 4TU Workshop on WiFi HaLow, we invite four well-known European HaLow/WiFi researchers and industry leaders to share their latest research findings, insights, and commercialization results/experience on WiFi HaLow as well as open-source WiFi prototyping. We aim to bring together researchers to discuss and brainstorm the future opportunities and challenges of the promising long-range WiFi HaLow technology.
The workshop will be organized online using Zoom. Come and join us! Please register here first! If you cannot open the registration link, please email your name + affiliation to both qingzhi.liu@wur.nl and qing.wang@tudelft.nl with the prefix “[4TU HaLow Workshop]”.
The workshop is sponsored by 4TU.NIRICT through the project “Intelligent Long-range WiFi”.
