Newratek, founded by Korea Institute of Electronics and Telecommunications, has developed a low-power Wi-Fi chip based on international standards that can communicate over a distance of 1.5km and will enter the global market. Newratek has developed the first-ever IEEE 802.11ah Distance, low-power Wi-Fi chip samples and has completed interoperability testing of the Wi-Fi Alliance (WFA) Newratek is expected to release commercial chip modules in June 2018 after final product performance verification and improvement efforts. Chip modules will be available in South Korea and overseas markets Newratek's new Wi-Fi chipset is a technology optimized for Internet of Things (IoT) services that maintains high-speed data transfer and greatly expands communication distance. 15Mbps transmission speed, transmission distance up to 1.5 km.The existing Wi-Fi technology will focus on increasing the amount of wireless transmission of information, communication distance is shortened to 30 to 50 meters.New technology at the core of the use of less than 1GHz Licensed Frequency Bands. Frequencies below 1 GHz are generally a better signal than in the 2.4 to 5 GHz band. Signals can be transmitted to many buildings in more obstructions. Newratek also transmits samples Power efficiency to the highest .Chip samples to take the best low-power design, power efficiency performance better than the international standards required values.Chip module is not in use, will enter the sleep mode to limit the power consumption, etc., using Newratek explained that the sample provides high transmission speed signal, low power consumption, the utilization of the Internet of Things is quite high, and in line with international standards, can be connected to multiple devices can be used in Smart City, with Network car, health management, UAV, outdoor space network services and other fields.
