    5555These !HaLow !WiFi (802.11ah) modules are used for long-range, 1km+ and low bandwidth applications. They operate at 900MHz (802.11ah) instead of 2.4 & 5GHz and use the standard Linux networking interfaces. See our [https://www.gateworks.com/802-11ah-halow-long-range-low-power-wireless-for-iot/ HaLow] page for more information and examples.
