Quectel Wireless Solutions recently launched the new communication module, Wi-Fi HaLow FGH100M, which offers a more robust connection in challenging conditions and over long distances while maintaining low energy consumption. This Wi-Fi module is ideal for a wide range of Internet of Things applications, including battery-powered devices that can operate for months or even years.
What does Wi-Fi HaLow mean?
Wi-Fi CERTIFIED HaLow™ is the designation for certified products incorporating IEEE 802.11ah technology, expanding Wi-Fi by operating in the frequency band below 1 GHz to achieve longer range and lower power consumption.
This Wi-Fi technology meets unique requirements for the Internet of Things (IoT) and further extends its application possibilities in industrial, agricultural, smart building, and smart city environments. It enables low-power connectivity, essential for applications such as sensor networks and wearable devices.
Wi-Fi HaLow offers longer range compared to many other IoT technology options and provides a more robust connection in challenging environments, where the ability to penetrate walls and barriers is a critical factor.

The President and CSO of Quectel Wireless Solutions, Norbert Muhrer, said when introducing this module to the market:
“By integrating the game-changing Wi-Fi HaLow technology, our FGH100M module will deliver long-range and robust Wi-Fi connectivity without sacrificing simplicity and efficiency. It is a very powerful complement to our already extensive range of Wi-Fi modules delivering functionality across Wi-Fi 4, Wi-Fi 5, Wi-Fi 6, and Wi-Fi 6E.”
The Quectel FGH100M Wi-Fi HaLow module with long-range and low power consumption complies with the IEEE 802.11ah standard. It operates in the 850 – 950 MHz bands with channel widths of 1/2/4/8 MHz and offers a maximum output power of 21 dBm and a theoretical maximum data rate of 32.5 Mbps. Thanks to these parameters, users can control their IoT devices within a range of up to 1 km.
Key features of the Wi-Fi module Quectel FGH100M:
- Wi-Fi HaLow module operates at a frequency of 850 – 950 MHz
- AES, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512, WPA3.
- SDIO 2.0 interface, long-distance transmission, and lower power consumption.
- Quick time-to-market due to its straightforward design.
- Wide operating temperature range: –30°C to +85°C.
The use of SMD technology enhances the module’s durability and robustness, while the LGA case allows for easy integration into applications with limited space, providing reliable connectivity. With its ultra-compact size of 13.0 mm × 13.0 mm × 2.2 mm, it optimizes and efficiently reduces the size of the end product, as well as design costs, making it a perfect fit for size-sensitive applications.
SOS electronic has included the Quectel FGH100M Wi-Fi module in a range of communication modules as a stock type, so it will be immediately available for your IoT projects.
