AH_NETBRIDGE_V2.1 Bridge

This page documents the AH_NETBRIDGE_V2.1, a HaLow (802.11ah) bridge device that integrates a HaLow module and provides Ethernet/network gateway functionality. It is ideal for connecting HaLow networks to standard IP networks and for use in multi‑hop or sensor gateway deployments.

The AH_NETBRIDGE_V2.1 is a ready‑to‑use bridge product. Internally it houses a HaLow module and exposes Ethernet or network interface(s) to connect HaLow nodes to IP infrastructure. It supports AT command configuration via the underlying module.

• HaLow frequency band: ~900 MHz (varies by region)
• Supports AP, STA, and Relay (AP+STA) modes
• Allows multi‑hop HaLow network bridging into Ethernet/IP domain
• Configurable via AT commands on the embedded module
• Can set channel list, bandwidth, TX power, sleep/wake modes
• Useful for IoT / sensor networks / long‑range links
• Bridge product provides a simpler interface than raw module, suitable for integration

• Linking HaLow sensor/station nodes to an Ethernet/WiFi backbone
• Acting as a gateway in multi-hop HaLow relay networks
• Protocol translation between HaLow and TCP/IP systems
• Field deployment: HaLow long‑range link into data center or edge server
• Experimentation: Use as prototyping platform to evaluate HaLow module capabilities

• Verify module firmware version and compatibility (refer to AT command reference)
• Connect to the device’s network interface or serial console to issue AT commands to the module
• Typical configuration sequence:

```

  AT+CHAN_LIST=9080,9160,9240  
  AT+BSS_BW=8  
  AT+SSID=bridge_network  
  AT+ENCRYPT=1  
  AT+KEY=12345678  
  AT+WIFIMODE=ap  
  ```
  Then set up the Ethernet side and network routing as needed  
* If deploying in regulated bands, set frequency range accordingly  
* Confirm that the bridge firmware on the board allows access to the AT interface

* modules – The core HaLow modules used inside this product * bridges – Other bridge‑type products * index – AT command reference for configuring the embedded module

* Because the bridge hosts a HaLow module, the same restrictions and regional regulatory concerns apply (e.g., permitted frequency bands, TX power limits) * Access to full AT commands depends on vendor configuration * For advanced use (e.g., integrating with Linux hosts or custom software stacks), you may need to expose the module’s AT interface or install a driver on the host side

The AH_NETBRIDGE_V2.1 offers a convenient turnkey path into HaLow networking and bridging into IP systems. Thanks to its embedded HaLow module and AT‑command support, it allows both rapid deployment and deeper experimentation for RF/long‑range network work.
