Longer Range. Better Penetration. Lower Power Consumption.

The EDGE 3 Series industrial Wi-Fi HaLow data transmitter uses IEEE 802.11ah sub-GHz technology for kilometer-range coverage and better obstacle penetration than conventional Wi-Fi. Designed for smart factories and Industrial IoT (IIoT), it connects sensors, smart meters, and existing equipment with less cabling. RS-485, industrial I/O, and Modbus integration support remote monitoring, energy management, and field data acquisition.

Wi-Fi HaLow vs. Conventional Wi-Fi: What’s the Difference?
