Exactly! And if you already have a LoRaWAN antenna (from a project like Helium IoT or others), you can use it for HaLoWave! The antenna that comes with both the HaLoWave Miner and the Wi-Fi Router also works over long distances, but for better performance, it's better to use an antenna with a higher dBi installed externally.
Inside the package, you'll find two adapters compatible with most LoRaWAN cables/antennas, as well as a gigabit PoE splitter.
Very important: Since Wi-Fi HaLow is a different protocol than LoRaWAN, don't use the same antenna for two or more different projects! For example, using a splitter. The antenna will conflict and won't work well, resulting in poor results (and few rewards) for HaLoWave. Use the antenna only for a specific project.

The HaLoWave Miner is the Access Point and serves to create the HaLoWave Network. It’s the device through which the user obtains rewards in $HLW tokens. So, to earn $HLW tokens, you need the HaLoWave Miner.

The HaLoWave Wi-Fi Router, instead, is the Client STA. This means the device takes the HaLow signal generated by the HaLoWave Miner from a distance and converts it into a classic 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and LAN connection to connect normal devices. The Client STA is not a miner and therefore doesn’t earn rewards, but it allows you to connect these regular devices if you need it for your home or business.

Even though buying the HaLoWave Wi-Fi Router is not mandatory to earn rewards, it is important to remember that to get higher rewards, the HaLoWave Miner can beacon with other HaLoWave Miners around it, or perform data transfers to provide connectivity to HaLoWave Wi-Fi Routers or HaLow IoT sensors/devices that will connect to the HaLoWave Network.
However, even just 1 HaLoWave Miner can earn rewards even if it’s in an isolated position without any other miners around, HaLoWave Wi-Fi Routers, or HaLow IoT sensors/devices.
For more information, please check the Tokenomics.

Inside a hex of the HaLoWave Network, only 3 HaLoWave Miners can obtain the highest possible rewards. These first 3 installed HaLoWave Miners that also have an uptime ≥ 95% for two months can obtain the Seniority Status, which is a protection if other devices are installed within the hex. If other devices are installed in the hex, the rewards for those devices are lower. For more information, please check the Tokenomics.

Regarding distance, there is no mandatory distance to respect. The only rule is the hex rule, where a maximum of 3 HaLoWave Miners can get the maximum rewards and the Seniority Status protection. From the 4th HaLoWave Miner onwards, the rewards are lower. For more information, please check the Tokenomics equation.

DIY or BYOD is in our roadmap but it’s something we cannot guarantee.
For the sake of monetization and network growth, the most important thing we must strictly respect is the duty cycle obligation in countries like the European Union and others, where regulations are very restrictive and severe if this duty cycle obligation is not respected. For this reason, the HaLoWave devices are closed hardware that allows us to overcome these duty cycle problems and offer constant connectivity in all countries.
Therefore, if you want to join right now and accumulate as many rewards as possible, it’s only possible with the official HaLoWave Miner.

Even though the risk is truly negligible because we are in an expansion phase, we can absolutely reassure you.
We are establishing the HaLoWave company in the United States, and by operating under US jurisdiction, we utilize the WBA OpenRoaming framework alongside crucial legal protections such as the Safe Harbor laws (under the DMCA) and Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act.
This means that the network generated by your HaLoWave Miner is legally treated simply as a pass-through ISP node. The owner of the HaLoWave Miner has absolutely no legal responsibility if someone else uses the provided internet connection to download illegal content or perform malicious actions. The owner of the HaLoWave Miner is completely excluded from any legal liability and is fully shielded by these internet service provider laws.

To understand HaLoWave coverage, it is important to clarify the difference between Data Transfer (connectivity) and Beaconing (network mapping), as the Wi-Fi HaLow (802.11ah) protocol handles them differently.

Data Transfer (Connectivity)
This is the primary goal of the network, and it works exceptionally well over long distances. Because data transfer uses a sustained, two-way handshake with confirmation packets (ACKs), the signal is highly resilient.

• Based on our tests on the ground, real data connectivity between HaLoWave devices can reach 2 or even 5 kilometers.
• For devices located in the air without obstacles (such as drones), a HaLoWave Miner can offer data connectivity for over 10 kilometers.

Beaconing (Proof of Coverage)
Unlike LoRaWAN networks (like Helium IoT) that send tiny, simple packets, HaLow beacons are inherently heavier management frames broadcasted without receipt confirmation. Furthermore, we specifically implemented WPA3 security for the HaLoWave network, which makes these beacons even heavier and more complex. This makes long-range beaconing physically harder to achieve. For this reason, the hexagons on our Explorer are smaller.

However, long-distance beaconing is absolutely possible with a good setup (high placement, high-dBi antennas, clear line of sight). To reward excellent antenna placements that pick up distant signals, our Tokenomics model recognizes two types of links:

• Mutual Witness: Both miners successfully hear each other's beacons.
• One-Way Witness: Even if only one miner receives the signal, it proves RF coverage reached its destination, and the receiving miner is still rewarded for it.

The potential is vast, and we look forward to discovering it alongside our community!

We use the latest Morse Micro chip, which offers the greatest advantages. We can reach speeds of up to 43 Mbps in countries without the duty cycle obligation.
In countries with the duty cycle obligation, the maximum speed that can be achieved is up to approximately 8 Mbps.

The duty cycle is a bureaucratic limit imposed by many countries regarding the maximum percentage of time a device is allowed to transmit within a given period in the sub-GHz frequency range. However, our advanced Morse Micro chip allows us to seamlessly operate and provide excellent speeds even in these countries, revolutionizing internet connections.

HaLoWave is the first Global Wi-Fi HaLow Network, proudly built on Solana. We strongly believe in the rapid expansion of the Wi-Fi HaLow market in the coming years (global forecasts estimate the market to reach a $1.5 Billion valuation with a massive 37-38% CAGR).
Our Tokenomics is designed to heavily reward our builders: 60% of the total supply is allocated exclusively to the community, and 70% of network revenue (post-TGE) will be used to Buy-Back & Burn $HLW tokens on the open market.
Joining right now during our Beta phase gives you a massive early-adopter advantage. By securing your position and generating uptime early, you can accumulate the highest possible amount of rewards before the network becomes crowded.
Regarding the TGE (Token Generation Event), we expect to achieve strong network monetization in 2027. To stay updated on the exact dates and official announcements, please make sure to follow our social media channels!
