"ALR Connected" New Technology Released! Achieving Low-Power Long-Range Wireless Communication

The Alinket Long Range Connectivity (" ALR Connected™ ") technology is a revolutionary innovation in wireless communication technology that enables high-speed, stable long-distance communication while reducing energy consumption to a minimum. Compared with the traditional wireless communication technology, ALR Connected technology has significantly improved the communication distance, power consumption, penetration, data transmission rate, the number of accessible devices and other aspects, and is a powerful and balanced new wireless communication technology.

What is ALR Connected Technology?

Alinket Long Range Connectivity Technology（ALRConnectedTM）based on the IEEE 802.11ah standard, is a wireless communication solution designed for long-range, large-scale access with high concurrency, low power consumption, and high reliability. It seamlessly integrates with Alinket's AiDK technology platform, ACM software system, and supports various IoT access protocols such as TCP/IP, MQTT, HTTP.

ALR Connected vs Traditional Wireless Communication

Compared to traditional Wi-Fi, longer range and better penetration

ALR Connected technology surpasses traditional Wi-Fi by achieving significantly longer communication distances, expanding coverage to approximately 500-1000 meters. It excels in signal penetration, overcoming obstacles like walls more effectively. In practical use, ALR Connected reduces the need for signal relays, connects more devices, and experiences less channel interference, simplifying network layouts and enhancing communication efficiency.

Compared to LoRaWAN, safer and high-speed transmission method

LoRaWAN is a low-power, long-range communication technology suitable for IoT applications with numerous nodes, but slow for large data transfer. But for ALR connected technology, its higher data transfer rates support faster data transmission and more efficient network performance. Alinket ALR connect technology supports WPA3 and AES encryption for OTA upgrade, ensuring secure remote firmware upgrades. It holds a clear advantage in security, adapting easily to future IoT security requirements.

Compared to NB-IoT, more cost-effective and flexible deployment compared to NB-IoT

ALR Connected technology is a low-power, long-distance communication technology based on Wi-Fi, while NB-IoT technology is an IoT communication technology based on cellular networks. From the perspective of network deployment and usage costs, ALR Connected technology, being based on Wi-Fi, can utilize existing Wi-Fi networks for communication without the need for extensive deployment and maintenance efforts. There are no additional deployment or maintenance costs when using ALR Connected. In contrast, NB-IoT technology relies on cellular networks provided by operators, requiring significant network deployment and maintenance efforts, presenting greater challenges, and incurring additional usage fees.

Compared to Zigbee, outstanding Key Performance

Zigbee technology is a low-power, low-data-rate wireless communication technology. In terms of performance, ALR Connected technology offers higher data transfer rates and lower latency, making it suitable for more complex application scenarios. Zigbee, with its relatively lower data transfer rates and higher latency, is better suited for simpler IoT applications. Regarding network capacity and coverage, ALR Connected technology can support a greater number of device connections in practical use and has a broader coverage range, meeting diverse application requirements. While Zigbee theoretically supports a higher number of device connections, its coverage range is relatively shorter. It requires specific devices to act as relays to extend mesh networks, necessitating more nodes for widespread coverage.

Compared to BLE Bluetooth, easier to expand device capacity

In terms of the number of connectable devices, ALR Connected technology surpasses BLE Bluetooth technology by having higher concurrent connection capability, enabling simultaneous connections to more devices. This better addresses the demand for numerous devices being online simultaneously. Additionally, in complex IoT application scenarios, ALR Connected technology can transmit data over longer distances and penetrate obstacles like walls. This capability allows for a more diverse range of scenarios, offering users a richer smart living experience.
