Environment Monitoring Solution

• Long-range coverage with single AP (~1 Km).

• Medium-to-high data rate with low latency supporting image transmission

• Low power consumption.

• Simplified and low-cost deployment without proprietary hubs or gateways.

In smart industries and agricultural settings, environmental monitoring is crucial for optimizing operations and ensuring sustainability. However, existing solutions often face challenges such as high power consumption, limited data transmission capabilities, and complex deployment requirements. Traditional networks like LTE/5G can be cost-prohibitive, while alternatives such as LoRaWAN and NB-IoT may struggle with image quality and data rates necessary for detailed analysis. 

These limitations hinder scalable monitoring systems, impacting the efficiency of industrial and agricultural operations. That’s why TMA developed TMA Wi-Fi HaLow Connect Plus - an IoT development board integrating Wi-Fi HaLow technology.

Implement a comprehensive environmental monitoring system for Industrial/Software parks and Agricultural applications using Wi-Fi HaLow technology and TMA Wi-Fi HaLow Connect Plus:

• Moderate bandwidth: Wi-Fi HaLow offers a balance between power efficiency and data transfer speeds. While not as fast as LTE/5G, it allows for transmission of clear, informative images suitable for most environmental monitoring applications.
• Improved image quality: Compared to LoRaWAN and NB-IoT, Wi-Fi HaLow enables transmission of clearer images with better resolution, aiding in detailed environmental analysis.
• Simplified system management: Utilizing existing Wi-Fi infrastructure reduces the complexity of deploying and managing a separate environmental monitoring network.
• Scalability for future growth: The ease of scaling Wi-Fi HaLow networks ensures the monitoring system can adapt to expanding operations within industries and farms.

TMA Wi-Fi HaLow Connect Plus comes with the following features:

• Compact design: Designing small form factor board of dimension 71 mm (L) x 29 mm (W) x 1.5 mm (H) for easy integration into various applications.
• Sensor flexibility: Using Qwiic connector to connect a range of external I2C sensors without requiring soldering or shields.
• Sustainable power option: Having power-down capability by including a lithium battery, which is chargeable by external solar panels.
