It’s the real-time visibility layer that sits on top of long-range, low-power connectivity, turning raw sensor data from hard-to-reach environments into a trusted, actionable picture of what’s happening across your operation. It’s built on a five-layer architecture (Vision, Transport, Intelligence, Evidence, Reasoning) that carries a signal from the physical asset to the decision it informs.

Standard Wi-Fi wasn’t designed for large, obstructed, or hard-to-wire environments. ioAire is built on Wi-Fi HaLow, a long-range, low-power wireless standard purpose-designed for industrial-scale coverage, reaching up to 3km with far fewer access points, and penetrating concrete and metal mesh up to 3x more effectively than traditional Wi-Fi.

Because ioAire covers the same area with 5–10x fewer access points, it reduces hardware spend, cabling, and installation time, cutting infrastructure investment by as much as 85% compared to conventional Wi-Fi deployments.

Yes. ioAire is IP-compatible with standard Wi-Fi and uses WPA3 security, allowing it to bridge safely with existing enterprise networks or run as a fully private network, closing the gap between IT and OT environments without introducing new vulnerabilities.

Cold storage facilities, factories, warehouses, and large campuses - anywhere real-time visibility has historically been too costly or too complex to achieve, due to distance, obstruction, or limited access to power and wiring.

ioAire is a Boise-based technology company providing next-generation networking products and services for for the most challenging Industrial IoT environments. The components include rugged network hardware, system software, and application support. ioAire networks bring the best combination of long-range, data throughput, high density of access, and reduced deployment costs.

ioAire’s networking products outperform competing technologies such as WLANs and GHz Wi-Fi in large-scale settings, providing high data throughput, at ranges up to one kilometer. But that’s not all: ioAire’s networks provide forward error correction, advanced encryption and security, with very low-power operation, and geolocation. ioAire is the next-generation networking provider for Industrial IoT.

Wireless networking provides critical functionality in industrial environments. The reliability of data flow is crucial at every factory, warehouse, and jobsite. A prevailing problem in these large settings is that current wireless networking technologies provide low data rates and limited area coverage, resulting in spotty connections and dropouts. Further, there is little to no data security.

ioAire products greatly expand Wi-Fi applications for the Internet of Things (IoT), including expansive spaces such as automated warehouses, factories, shipping yards, and building campuses. By providing a robust connection in industrial environments, ioAire enables low-power connectivity for applications requiring multi-year battery operation, such as in remote locations. It also brings bandwidth for applications such as compressed video streaming. Even in challenging environments, ioAire networks provide a robust connection. In monitoring applications (such as agriculture or logistics) where long range operation is a priority, ioAire's long-range Wi-Fi delivers data at ranges exceeding one kilometer.

ioAire networks satisfy the scalability and agility required to connect the most challenging industrial environments. ioAire networks easily co-exist and bridge with traditional Wi-Fi. Native bridging is made possible because ioAire packet protocols are IP compatible, identical to ordinary Wi-Fi and Internet. With advanced networking products, based upon the Wi-Fi standard, plus our unwavering support and application service teams, ioAire offers clear advantages over ordinary Wi-Fi and other leading wireless LANs in industrial operating environments. ioAire solutions reduces installation investment by as much as 85 percent, increases range by 16 times, with very low power consumption, utilizing advanced edge AI algorithms for inference in sensing and pattern recognition. Additionally, ioAire networks are shown to decrease costs and increase ROI for industrial IoT in security, communications, and logistics applications.

There are ten key areas where long-range Wi-Fi solves fundamental weaknesses of commercial and industrial wireless technologies: energy efficiency, wide range of data rates, increased range, penetration through material, advanced security, greater network data capacity, straightforward installation/operational costs, advanced network traffic management, interoperability and customer experience, and native IP support.
