Technical Column - What is the new Wi-Fi standard IEEE 802.11ah (Wi-Fi HaLow) suitable for long distances?

IEEE 802.11ah compatible wireless LAN converter

This product is a compact IEEE802.11ah compatible wireless LAN converter. It complies with the standard IEEE802.11ah, allowing for the construction of a high-speed and long-range network. It supports external antennas, enabling the creation of a flexible wireless LAN system, and its lightweight and compact design allows for various installations such as on walls or DIN rails using the included mounting bracket. Additionally, it can be used as an access point (parent station) that can connect to up to four stations (child stations) by switching modes. 【Main Features】 ● Compliant with IEEE802.11ah standard ● Supports 920MHz band wireless with excellent transmission distance ● High-speed communication capable of video transmission ● Switchable between station (child station) and access point (parent station) ● Compatible with various power supply options and a wide temperature range

• Wireless LAN

A Wi-Fi wireless access point that can cover several hundred devices (theoretical value) within a radius of 1 km and can connect to equipment from different manufacturers.

This product is a compactly designed IEEE802.11ah compliant wireless access point that can be used in various installation locations. The new Wi-Fi standard "IEEE802.11ah," which utilizes sub-gigahertz wireless communication, became available in Japan in September 2022. It operates in the 920MHz band, allowing for outdoor use without a license. Compared to traditional 920MHz wireless communication, it enables high-speed communication and the establishment of long-distance networks, making it promising for use in large factories, plants, and farms. The wireless access point of this product can be installed in various locations, including walls and DIN rails, thanks to its compact design and included mounting bracket. It also supports external antennas, allowing for the construction of a highly flexible wireless LAN system. 【Main Features】 ● Compliant with IEEE802.11ah standard ● Supports 920MHz band wireless with excellent transmission distance ● Compatible with various power environments and mode switching ● Suitable for installation not only on flat surfaces but also on walls and DIN rails ● Supports a wide range of temperature environments ● Compliant with advanced security standards WPA3/WPA2

The material yard is not just a place to store materials. Delivery vehicles come and go, materials are stored, and the process of transporting them to necessary locations is repeated. Therefore, if the ground becomes muddy due to rain or if the roadbed is damaged by vehicle traffic, it can affect work efficiency. In this context, the wooden mat "Hyper CLT Mat," made from CLT, can be considered for use. By laying it down on the floor of the material yard, delivery routes, material storage areas, and worker pathways, it becomes easier to manage the ground conditions on site. The 5×10 mat weighs about 230 kg, and the 5×20 mat weighs about 460 kg, making them relatively lightweight. Depending on site conditions, they can be easily installed, removed, or relocated, allowing for adjustments to the layout and traffic flow of the material yard in accordance with the progress of construction. Compared to steel plates, wooden mats are better at reducing metallic sounds during vehicle passage and minimizing heat reflection in the summer, which also contributes to consideration for the surrounding environment. The Hyper CLT Mat is registered with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under the NETIS technology "TH-250021-A." Wooden mats, NETIS, civil engineering, CLT, lightweight wooden mats. A new option for supporting the delivery, storage, and movement in the material yard.

We are pleased to announce that we will be exhibiting at Edge Tech 2026+ to be held at Pacifico Yokohama. Since 2017, when the terms "Edge AI" and "Edge Computing" were not yet widely recognized, AAEON has focused on their potential and continued to make proactive investments. At this exhibition, you will be able to see a comprehensive showcase of the technologies, products, and solutions we have developed so far. We invite you to experience AAEON's latest solutions at the venue. ■ Dates: November 18 (Wednesday) to 20 (Friday), 2026 ■ Time: 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM (until 6:00 PM on the 19th) ■ Location: Pacifico Yokohama Exhibition Hall ■ Booth Position: BP-15 Pre-registration for attendance is available at the following URL: https://f-vr.jp/jasa/etp2026/ We sincerely look forward to your visit.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding repair methods can alter the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which always carries the risk of "crack recurrence" and "secondary damage." Hinode Water Supply Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for metal crack repair without applying heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, the crack is physically removed without affecting the base material with heat. Repairs can be made even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized.

Hinode Water Supply Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without applying heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, the crack is physically removed without affecting the base material at all. Repairs can be made even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.
