Wi-Fi 7 is the seventh major generation of Wi-Fi technology. It is based on the IEEE 802.11be standard and is designed to provide faster speeds, lower latency, and better performance when many devices use the same wireless network. Wi-Fi 7 works across the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands. Its improved design makes…

DigiMesh is a proprietary wireless mesh networking protocol developed by Digi International. It allows wireless devices to communicate with each other and pass data from one device to another until it reaches its destination. This peer-to-peer design can create flexible networks that continue working even when some devices become unavailable. How Does DigiMesh Work? In…

Wireless KNX, also called KNX RF (Radio Frequency), is a wireless extension of the KNX standard used for smart homes and building automation. It allows devices such as switches, sensors, thermostats, lights, and blinds to communicate through radio signals instead of relying only on physical KNX cables. This makes it especially useful for existing buildings…

MiWi is a lightweight wireless communication protocol developed by Microchip Technology for low-cost and low-power wireless networks. It is based on the IEEE 802.15.4 radio standard and is designed for small embedded devices such as sensors, controllers, and smart-home equipment. MiWi can support peer-to-peer, star, and mesh network configurations. How Does MiWi Work? MiWi allows…

Telensa is a smart-city wireless technology platform designed to connect and control large numbers of devices across cities. It uses Ultra Narrow Band (UNB) wireless communication to provide low-power, long-range connectivity for applications such as smart street lighting, parking, and other city sensors. How Does Telensa Work? Telensa uses wireless controllers installed on devices such…

ANT (ANT Wireless) is a low-power wireless communication protocol used to connect small electronic devices and sensors. It is designed for devices that need to exchange small amounts of data while using very little battery power. ANT is especially common in fitness, sports, healthcare, and sensor-based applications. How Does ANT Work? ANT allows compatible devices…

Wi-Fi HaLow is a version of Wi-Fi designed for long-range, low-power wireless communication. It uses the sub-1 GHz frequency range, allowing compatible signals to travel farther and pass through obstacles more effectively than many traditional Wi-Fi connections. Unlike regular Wi-Fi, which is commonly used for fast internet access, Wi-Fi HaLow is particularly useful for IoT…

Matter is a smart-home connectivity standard that helps devices from different brands work together. Instead of requiring every device to follow a separate communication system, Matter gives compatible smart devices a common way to communicate. For example, you could have a smart light from one brand and a smart home controller from another brand. If…

Thread is a low-power wireless networking protocol designed to connect smart home and Internet of Things (IoT) devices. It creates a reliable network where devices such as sensors, lights, locks, and thermostats can communicate with each other. Unlike Wi-Fi, Thread is not mainly designed for high-speed internet activities. It focuses on connecting small smart devices…

Z-Wave is a wireless communication technology mainly designed for smart home devices. It allows devices such as lights, locks, sensors, thermostats, and switches to communicate with each other without using physical cables. Unlike Wi-Fi, Z-Wave is built for small amounts of data and low-power communication rather than activities like video streaming or web browsing. How…
