Wi-Fi HaLow is the widely announced “next big thing” in wireless data transmission applications such as industrial IoT, smart cities, health, home and other wireless applications which typically need to operate under battery power for 5 years or more.

In its first incarnation, the PCS1100 is a highly integrated and feature-rich intelligent chipset supporting internet of Things (IoT) applications that require low power, higher throughput and extended range (up to 1Km), low duty cycle communications and extensive features to manage dense networks of sensor devices.
