Case Study
United States
Smart Agricultural Monitoring in Iowa
A large agricultural operation in Iowa adopted ShortRangeWireless Wi-Fi HaLow systems to monitor crop fields spanning over 600 acres. Using HaLow-enabled soil sensors and centralized gateways, the farm reduced water usage by 27% while increasing crop yield by 15% through real-time irrigation control.
United States
Industrial Warehouse Connectivity in Michigan
A distribution company in Michigan implemented HaLow access points across a 250,000 sq ft warehouse to connect forklifts, scanners, and inventory systems. The robust signal penetration and low power consumption enabled 24/7 connectivity, eliminating blackouts in shelving zones and boosting productivity by 22%.
Canada
Municipal Smart Parking System in Ottawa
The City of Ottawa deployed a smart parking solution using Wi-Fi HaLow modules from ShortRangeWireless to connect in-ground parking sensors and overhead signage. The system enabled real-time data collection and dynamic pricing, improving parking efficiency and reducing downtown congestion.
