Wi-Fi HaLow (IEEE 802.11ah) for Long-Range Monitoring Links: Point-to-Point NLoS/LoS and LoS Mesh Field Characterization

Chaabane Mankai, Jiajie Xu, Mohamed-Slim Alouini

Field tests show Wi-Fi HaLow delivers usable throughput up to 814 m in line-of-sight and extends beyond 1 km with fixed relays for monitoring uploads.

The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

The measurements reveal (a) a clear bandwidth-range tradeoff and an NLoS coverage boundary around ~120 m, (b) gradual throughput decay under LoS up to 814 m in single-hop with 0.15 Mbps at the farthest point, and (c) kilometer-class extension under LoS when fixed relays are introduced, reaching 901 m (two fixed relays) and 1110 m (three fixed relays).

C2weakest assumption

The specific test environments, interference levels, and commodity HaLow dongle hardware performance are representative of typical real-world long-range monitoring deployments.

C3one line summary

Field tests of Wi-Fi HaLow show NLoS coverage to ~120 m, LoS single-hop to 814 m at 0.15 Mbps, and mesh extension to 1110 m with three relays for video monitoring uploads.
