Whenever I have a
problem with any Wi-Fi network and
anyone around me, I joked that "he who invented the Wi-Fi, rested." We
have now entered 2016, but most networks have some problems, resulting in falls
or significant decreases in speed. I can say in all sincerity that this
happens to me from time to time being at least five meters from myrouter without any object that comes between
him and any of the devices I use. It's why news like today are encouraging
for me and certainly for many users.
The Wi-Fi Alliance has
approved, at last, the long awaited standard 802.11ah Wi-Fi , a standard that has been called
"Halow". Compatible devices operate in the band 900MHz unlicensed, who has a range of standard
folding 2.4GHz while using less energy and provides greater penetration. The
latter is something I would have liked to come before because in my case, I
ended up having a CAT 6 cable through the roof of my house to take advantage of
the speed that I have hired 300/30.
This standard will be
key in the internet of things and connected households, something that so far has not
reached all the points where it was expected. The problem until now were
some electronic devices such as door sensors, cameras connected bulbs or who
need to have enough energy to send data over long distances. The current
standard does not permit or long-range or reach as far as we would like, not to
mention the speed drops on each wall that has to cross the signal.
The Wi-Fi Alliance
says Halow be compatible with existing protocols Wi-Fi and many devices such as routers,
operate in the traditional 2.4 and 5 GHz bands, which, in theory, open the door
to a lot of new devices compatible with the 900MHz band in the near future. With
all this, the question is: When can we take them into our homes?
