WiFi below 1 GHz gets the opposite: longer range, lower throughput, and almost no consumer coverage despite being standardized in 2016. 802.11ah — marketed as WiFi HaLow — is a genuinely distinct technology addressing problems that neither standard WiFi nor cellular IoT handles well. It deserves more attention than it receives. Why Sub-1 GHz Matters for IoT The physics of radio propagation favor lower frequencies for range and obstacle penetration.
